Zarathustrian Gathas In Metre And Rythm is a book written by Lawrence H. Mills. The book is a collection of poems and hymns, known as the Gathas, which were composed by the ancient Persian prophet Zarathustra. The Gathas are considered to be the oldest and most sacred texts of the Zoroastrian religion. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides an introduction to the Gathas and their significance in Zoroastrianism. It also includes a brief biography of Zarathustra and an explanation of the concept of Ahura Mazda, the supreme deity in Zoroastrianism. The second part of the book contains the Gathas themselves, which are presented in their original Avestan language with an English translation. The translations are accompanied by a detailed analysis of the metre and rhythm of the Gathas, which is an important aspect of their structure and meaning. Overall, Zarathustrian Gathas In Metre And Rythm is a valuable resource for scholars and students of Zoroastrianism, as well as anyone interested in ancient poetry and religious texts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
