Examines Zoroastrian exegesis by investigating a late antique translation of an ancient Iranian textChallenges the view that considers the study of the Zand an auxiliary science to Avestan studiesViews the Zand of the YH as a text in its own right and investigates it within the wider Pahlavi leiteratureConsiders the so-called glosses in the Zand for the first time as an integral part of the textOffers a variorum edition of the Middle Persian text, refusing to establish an UrtextIn late antiquity, Zoroastrian exegetes set out to translate their ancient canonical texts into Middle Persian, the vernacular of their time. Although undated, these translations, commonly known as the Zand, are often associated with the Sasanian era (224-651 ce). Despite the many challenges the Zand offers to us today, it is indispensable for investigations of late antique exegesis of the Avesta, a collection of religious and ritual texts commonly regarded as the Zoroastrians' scripture.Arash Zeini also offers a fresh edition of the Middle Persian version of the Avestan Yasna HaptaA hA iti, a ritual text composed in the Old Iranian language of Avestan, commonly dated to the middle of the second millennium bce. Zeini challenges the view that considers the Zand's study an auxiliary science to Avestan studies, framing the text instead within the exegetical context from which it emerged.

Seit Urzeiten erkunden Menschen den Willen der Götter, befolgen deren heilige Ordnung und hoffen auf Erlösung. Bernhard Maier beschreibt anschaulich die Geschichte der Religionen von den frühesten Grabkulten über die Weltbilder des Alten Orients und den Monotheismus bis zu den heutigen Religionskonflikten und der individuellen Suche vieler Menschen nach Heil. Wann sind die Religionen entstanden, und warum gibt es sie (fast) überall auf der Welt? Bernhard Maier erzählt die Geschichte der Religionen von den archäologisch nachweisbaren Anfängen bis heute. Dabei gelingt es ihm meisterhaft, die Eigenheiten großer und kleiner Religionen prägnant zu porträtieren, parallele Entwicklungen in Schlüsselepochen deutlich zu machen und Mythologien, Zeitvorstellungen oder heilige Stätten miteinander zu vergleichen. Wer seinen eindrucksvollen Überblick gelesen hat, wird besser verstehen, warum Religionen auch heute noch so machtvoll sind und selbst eingefleischte Skeptiker zutiefst faszinieren.

A study of the material culture of Egypt during the period of Achaemenid Persian rule, c. 526-404 BCEProvides a clear overview of the archaeological evidence for Achaemenid Egypt, including temples, tombs, irrigation works, statues, stelae, seals and coinsDemonstrates how different types of evidence, both textual and archaeological - including material of uncertain provenance - can be used to address a single historical questionOffers critical discussion of the dating criteria used by archaeologists for Egyptian Late Period materialElucidates strategies used by the Persians to establish and maintain control of EgyptExamines how these strategies may have affected the lives of people living in Egypt during the 27th DynastyCreates a new explanatory model for the introduction of coinage to ancient EgyptPrevious studies have characterised Achaemenid rule of Egypt either as ephemeral and weak or oppressive and harsh. These characterisations, however, are based on the perceived lack of evidence for this period, filtered through ancient and modern preconceptions about the Persians.Henry Colburn challenges these views by assembling and analyzing the archaeological remains from this period, including temples, tombs, irrigation works, statues, stelae, sealings, drinking vessels and coins. By looking at the decisions made about material culture - by Egyptians, Persians and others - it becomes possible to see both how the Persians integrated Egypt into their empire and the full range of experiences people had as a result.

A sweeping exploration of the shaping role of animal skins in written culture and human imagination over three millennia “Richly detailed and illustrated. . . . An engaging exploration of book history.”—Kirkus Reviews For centuries, premodern societies recorded and preserved much of their written cultures on parchment: the rendered skins of sheep, cows, goats, camels, deer, gazelles, and other creatures. These remains make up a significant portion of the era’s surviving historical record. In a study spanning three millennia and twenty languages, Bruce Holsinger explores this animal archive as it shaped the inheritance of the Euro-Mediterranean world, from the leather rolls of ancient Egypt to the Acts of Parliament in the United Kingdom. Holsinger discusses the making of parchment past and present, the nature of the medium as a biomolecular record of faunal life and environmental history, the knotty question of “uterine vellum,” and the imaginative role of parchment in the works of St. Augustine, William Shakespeare, and a range of Jewish rabbinic writers of the medieval era. Closely informed by the handicraft of contemporary makers, painters, and sculptors, the book draws on a vast array of sources—codices and scrolls, documents and ephemera, works of craft and art—that speak to the vitality of parchment across epochs and continents. At the center of On Parchment is the vexed relationship of human beings to the myriad slaughtered beasts whose remains make up this vast record: a relationship of dominion and compassion, of brutality and empathy.

Die Pahlavi-Ubersetzung des Avesta gehorte in den Anfangen der Avesta-Philologie zu deren wichtigsten Hilfsmitteln. Bestimmte Entwicklungen innerhalb der indogermanischen Sprachwissenschaft des 19. Jahrhunderts setzten sie jedoch in ihrem Wert herab und liessen sie weitgehend in Vergessenheit geraten. Im 20. Jahrhundert war sie bis in die siebziger Jahre hinein weder als Hilfsmittel der Avesta-Philologie akzeptiert noch ein eigenstandiges Objekt der Forschung. Die Studie von Alberto Cantera versucht nicht nur, die Grunde dieser Entwicklung nachzuzeichnen (Geschichte der Avestaforschung in bezug auf die Pahlavi-Ubersetzung), sondern durch die ausfuhrliche Behandlung wesentlicher, die Pahlavi-Ubersetzung betreffender Probleme (Abastag ud Zand: Das Avesta und dessen Pahlavi-Ubersetzung; Die Uberlieferung des Avesta und dessen schriftliche Fixierung; Zur Datierung der Pahlavi-Ubersetzung des Avesta; Die Ubersetzungstechnik in der Pahlavi-Version des Avesta) die Texte in ihrem Wert zu rehabilitieren. Der Leser erhalt mit dieser Studie einen detaillierten historischen wie systematischen Einblick in den Prozess der Transformation des Avesta in der Sasanidenzeit und der folgenden Jahrhunderte, welcher konstitutiv war fur das Erscheinungsbild des jungeren Zoroastrismus.
