Studien Zum Avesta (1882)

By Karl Friedrich Geldner

Book Overview

Studien Zum Avesta is a book written by Karl Friedrich Geldner in 1882. The book is a collection of studies and research on the Avesta, which is the primary collection of sacred texts of Zoroastrianism, the ancient Persian religion. The Avesta is written in the Avestan language, which is a language that is no longer spoken, and the texts are considered to be some of the oldest surviving religious texts in the world. Geldner's book provides a comprehensive analysis of the Avesta, including its history, language, and content. The author examines the different parts of the Avesta, such as the Gathas, the Yasna, and the Vendidad, and provides insights into their meaning and significance. He also explores the relationship between the Avesta and other ancient religious texts, such as the Vedas of Hinduism. Studien Zum Avesta is a seminal work in the field of Zoroastrian studies, and it continues to be a valuable resource for scholars and researchers interested in the history and culture of ancient Persia. The book is written in German and is considered to be a classic of German scholarship.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
