Of long-standing and topical interest, the book's subject covers overviews on the latest researches into the Gathas, their recent translations, mistranslations and interpretations, a critical edition and new translation of Yasna 32, and thought provoking fresh insights into Gathic themes and teachings.

 

This volume, the first in the *dayana series of the W.Z.0.'s publications (ISBN 0 9534008 0 8), was launched at a special event on 17 January 1999.
