Old Persian Artācā Brazmaniy
The Old Persian phrase artācā brazmaniy does not seem yet satisfactorily explained, in spite of numerous attempts, and although much headway has been made towards its complete elucidation
The Old Iranian Calendars Again
Most Iranists are probably acquainted with some of my writings on Iranian chronology and systems of time-reckoning. One of the essential points in my outline of the history of the Iranian calendars is the theory I put forward about the date of the creation of a fixed religious year, co-existing and running parallel with the civil year, which was a vague one. This fixed year, called in Pahlavi literature Vihēǰakīk, was, however, theoretical and wi…
The Early Sasanians Some Chronological Points which Possibly Call for revision
Following the study I made on some points connected with chronological matters relating to the Sasanian period, I published some short articles dealing with these points in BSOS., ix, pp. 125-139, and ZMDG., vol. 91, part 3, pp. 675-7. In 1938 and 1939 I concluded these studies with an article on the chronology of the early Sasanian rulers for publication in BSOS.in 1939. The Bulletin being already completed for Press, the publication of my artic…
The Iranian Festivals Adopted by the Christians
The Zoroastrian calendar which was in official use in the Sasanian times in Iran is conveniently called "Young Avestan". This system of time-reckoning, which was adopted by the Persian government in the Achæmenian period and most probably about 441 B.C., was introduced later in Cappadocia and Armenia. The date of its introduction in Armenia is not known. According to Moses of Khorene, the famous Armenian historian (ii, 59), the order (or successi…
Various Eras and Calendars used in the Countries of Islam
In the first part of this article we have discussed seven different -*- eras or (to be strictly correct) different kinds of time-reckoning with or without a common era. We are now going to deal with the fourteen remaining sections of our list. But before proceeding to the discussion of the next number, I want to insert here a small note relating to No. 3, i.e. the Kh arājī era in Egypt, as a complement to what has already been said in the precedi…
An Ancient Persian Practice Preserved by a non-Iranian People
It is indeed interesting to find sometimes a national practice of a people in. usage among another nation of quite different race, language, religion, culture, and habitation. This is, however, not a very rare thing if the custom in question was not forgotten, abandoned, or changed among its originators. We have numerous examples of this kind of adoption, in many countries. Amongst others I may mention some superstitious beliefs in the Muhammadan…
The word sunô in the Vendidād
The following conjecture which occurred to me owing only to the fact that Persian is my own language, is one of innumerable proofs for the great desirability and the real necessity for an adequate dictionary of the living Persian language
Some Chronological Data relating to the Sasanian Period
When Theodor Nöldeke, working on a retrograde calculation from the well-known date of the beginning of the era of Yazdijerd (16th June, 632), made his table of Persian new year's days during the Sasanian period from A.D. 220 to 652 (Appendix B, p. 436, Geschichte der Perser und Araber zur Zeit der Sasaniden), Dulaurier (L'histoire universelle par Etienne de Daron, 1883, p. 195) criticized it, saying that this depends on admitting the base as gran…
A New Contribution to the Materials concerning the Life of Zoroaster
The life of Zoroaster has been the subject of both comprehensive and exhaustive study since Hyde and Anquetil. The amount written on this difficult question and the discussions which have takenp lace among scholars are disproportionate to the insufficient and fragmentary materials which we possess. Even the available data are lacking in precision and are not very reliable. However, every old document available relating to Zoroaster has been caref…
