Pahlavi Texts (New ed of 1885 ed)

Five volumes (Volume 5, 18, 24, 32 and 47) of the series on the 'Sacred Books of the East' have been devoted to study the Pahlavi texts.

Easch volume covers a specific aspect of it and is a sequel to the previous one.

Though we must look to the Avesta for information regarding the main outline of the Parsi religion, it is to Pahlavi writings we refer for most of the details relating to the traditions, ceremonies and customs.

To understand the relationship between these two classes of Parsi sacred writings, it must be observed that the Avesta and Pahlavi of the same scripture, taken together, forms its Avesta and Zend which are nearly synonymous with 'Revelation and Commentary'.
