000939224 5208_ $$aThe Bundahišn, meaning primal or foundational creation, is the central Zoroastrian account of creation, cosmology, & one of the most important of the surviving testaments to Zoroastrian literature & pre-Islamic Iranian culture. Touching on geography, cosmogony, anthropology, zoology, astronomy, legend, & myth, the Bundahišn can be considered a concise compendium of Zoroastrian knowledge. The Bundahišn is well known in the field as an essential source for the study of ancient Iranian history, religions, literature, & languages. It is one of the most important texts composed in Zoroastrian Middle Persian, also known as Zoroastrian Book Pahlavi, in the centuries after the fall of the Sasanian Empire to the invading Arab & Islamic forces in the mid seventh century. The Bundahišn provides scholars with a particularly profitable window on intellectual & religious history at a crucial transitional moment.
