The Gathas Of Zarathushtra, Zoroaster - Lawrence Heyworth Mills - Bog

""The Gathas of Zarathushtra, Zoroaster: In Metre and Rhythm"" is a book written by Lawrence Heyworth Mills in 1900. The book is a translation and interpretation of the Gathas, which are the hymns of Zarathushtra, also known as Zoroaster, the founder of the ancient Persian religion of Zoroastrianism. The Gathas are considered the most sacred texts of the Zoroastrian religion and are written in an ancient language called Avestan. Mills' translation of the Gathas is done in a unique style, in which he attempts to capture the original meter and rhythm of the Avestan language. The book is divided into three parts, with the first part providing an introduction to the Gathas and their historical context. The second part contains the translated Gathas, presented in their original Avestan script alongside an English translation. The third part is a detailed analysis and interpretation of the Gathas, with Mills providing his own insights and commentary on the meaning and significance of the hymns. Overall, ""The Gathas of Zarathushtra, Zoroaster: In Metre and Rhythm"" is a seminal work in the field of Zoroastrian studies, providing a comprehensive and scholarly analysis of the Gathas and their role in the Zoroastrian religion. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and theology of ancient Persia and the development of world religions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
