The Avesta Visperad is a book edited and translated by L. H. Mills. It is a collection of prayers and hymns from the Zoroastrian religion, which originated in ancient Persia. The Visperad is one of the five main texts of the Avesta, the holy scripture of Zoroastrianism. It is a compilation of 23 hymns that are recited during various religious ceremonies, including the Yasna ritual. Mills' translation provides a clear and accessible rendering of the original text, along with detailed notes and commentary that help to contextualize the prayers and their significance within Zoroastrian theology. This book is an invaluable resource for scholars of comparative religion, as well as anyone interested in learning more about the history and beliefs of the Zoroastrian faith.And in this Zaothra with this Baresman I desire to approach the man who recites the ritual rites with my praise, who is maintaining thus the thought well thought, and the word well spoken, and the deed well done, and Piety the bountiful, even him who maintains the Mathra of the Saoshyant, by whose actions the settlements are advanced in the righteous order.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
