The Spirit of Zoroastrianism
Zoroastrianism is one of the world's oldest religions, though it is not among the best understood. Originating with Iranian tribes living in Central Asia in the second millennium BCE, Zoroastrianism was the official religion of the Iranian empires until Islam superseded it in the seventh century AD. Centered on the worship of Ahura Mazda, the All-knowing Ruler, Zoroastrianism follows the practices and rituals set out by the prophet Zarathustra, a…

Achaemenid Religion
Achaemenid religion" was the religion of the rulers of Iran in the second half of the first millennium BCE and the local form of Zoroastrianism, the ancient religion of the Iranians. The earliest form of Zoroastrianism is known from the Avesta, their sacred texts, which probably originated in the last half of the second and first half of the first millennium BCE, but were transmitted only orally until priests began writing them down in the sevent…
Zoroastrianism
Introduction Zoroastrianism (also called Mazdaism) was the religion of peoples speaking Iranian languages who, coming from Central Asia circa 1000 bce , settled on the Iranian Plateau. Iranian languages are related to the Indo-Aryan languages (Sanskrit, etc.), and the common proto-Indo-Iranian language may have been spoken by peoples inhabiting the area south and southeast of the Aral Sea, who split into Iranians and Indo-Aryans around 2000 bce .…
Avesta and Zoroastrianism Under the Achaemenids and Early Sasanians
"Iran's heritage is as varied as it is complex, and the archaeological, philological, and linguistic scholarship of the region has not been the focus of a comprehensive study for many decades. The Oxford Handbook of Ancient Iran provides up-to-date, authoritative essays on a wide range of topics extending from the earliest Paleolithic settlements in the Pleistocene era to the Arab conquest in the 7th century AD. The volume, authored by specialist…

The State of Old Avestan Scholarship
Avestan scholarship throughout this century has been based upon the assumption that Zarathustra was an historical person: a prophet and a religious reformer. These assumptions have no objective foundation. The complete edition of the Old Avestan texts by Jean Kellens and Eric Pirart is the first edition not based upon such assumptions; instead it places the texts firmly in a ritual context, looking to the Vedas for comparative evidence, rather th…

Khotanese v- < Old Iranian *dw
In his Dictionary of Khotan Saka (p. 377), Bailey has the following entry: 'vara- "door?"' with the following comment: 'possibly vara- "door" from var- "to close, shut"; or a dialectal v- < dv- would permit connexion with dvar-, Av dvar∂m, dvar∂ "gate" (...) Note Tumshuq Saka vitana "a second time" with vi- < dvi-.' Bailey's suggestion that this vara- means door, is certainly correct. The Passage in question (KT, III, 124) is quoted below

On the Tumshuqese Karmavācanā text
Tumshuqese is the name proposed by Emmerick, on the analogy of “Khotan: Khotanese”, for the language spoken in the region of Tumshuq, on the northern edge of the Tarim basin in the Xinjiang Uigur Autonomous Region of China. It is closely related to — though in many respects more archaic than — Khotanese, a Middle Iranian language (like Sogdian, Bactrian, Khwarezmian, Middle Persian and Parthian), the language of Khotan, a country and city on the …
