Across three civilisations, one prophetic voice echoes: in the sacred Gathas of Zarathushtra, in the testimony of Greek and Roman classics, and in the debates of modern scholars. The questions still feel urgent. Who was Zarathushtra in the earliest Iranian hymns, and how did classical authors reshape Zoroaster for their own worlds? Bringing ancient Persian religion into sharp, human focus, Darab Dastur Peshotan Sanjana offers a lucid comparative religion study that speaks both to faith and to history. Translating and presenting the influential German researches of Geiger and Windischmann on Zarathushtra in the Gathas, a landmark in modern Zoroastrian scholarship, and setting them beside Greek and Roman views of Zoroaster, this zoroastrianism scholarly edition becomes a rich, annotated Zarathushtra research tool. Sanjana adds his own substantial notes on M. Darmesteter's Avesta studies, guiding readers through the avesta dating debate with rare clarity, while an appendix draws together key classical Greek Iranian sources. At once a rigorous zoroastrian studies reference and an accessible doorway for comparative religion students and general readers, it illuminates the continuity and transformation of one of the world's oldest prophetic traditions. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, it will attract scholars of ancient history, seekers exploring Zoroastrian thought, and classic-literature collectors who value meticulous scholarship in an elegant, enduring form.
