Rituals, it is agreed, play a prominent role in Zoroastrianism, one of the oldest continuous traditions of mankind. In this book, scholars from a broad range of disciplines make the first ever collective effort to address this issue. From a historical and geographical perspective, texts and contexts studied in these pages range from antiquity to modernity, all the way from Japan, China, India, Iran, Europe to California. The essays touch on questions of theory, ritual texts, change and performances, gender and professional religion (priesthood/lay-people). The rituals studied are placed in a broad scope of social and local settings ranging from the royal court to the needy, from the rural village to the urban metropolis, from the domestic to the public.

"Zoroastrianism is one of the world's great ancient religions. In present-day Iran significant communities of Zoroastrians (who take their name from the founder of the faith, the remarkable religious reformer Zoroaster, or--in the old Avestan language--Zarathustra) still practise the rituals and teach the moral precepts that once undergirded the officially state-sanctioned faith of the mighty Sasanian empire. Beyond Iran, the Zoroastrian diaspora is significant especially in India, where the Gujurati-speaking community of exiles from post-Sasanian Iran call themselves 'Parsis'. But there are also significant Zoroastrian communities to be found elsewhere, such as in the USA, Britain and Canada, where western cultural contexts have shaped the religion in intriguing ways and directions. This new, thorough and wide-ranging introduction will appeal to anyone interested in discovering more about the faith that bequeathed the contrasting words 'Mary' and 'magic', and whose adherents still live according to the code of Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds. The central Zoroastrian concept that human beings are continually faced with a choice between the path of 'good' and 'evil', represented by the contrasting figures of Ahura Mazda and Ahriman, inspired thinkers as diverse as Voltaire, Mozart and Nietzsche. Jenny Rose shows why Zoroastrianism remains one of the world's most inspiring and perennially fascinating systems of ethics and belief"--Publisher description, p. [4] of cover.

This volume traces the history of Zoroastrianism at times and places where its existence has previously been largely ignored, or treated only episodically. Literary, archaeological and numismatic evidence has been drawn on (some of it only recently brought to light), and local developments are distinguished. In Iran itself some 200 years of Macedonian rule had little effect on the national religion. To the east, Zoroastrianism survived in the Greco-Bactrian kingdoms and under Mauryan suzereinty, where it came into contact with Buddhism. In Eastern Mediterranean lands it was maintained by Iranian expatriates well down into Roman imperial times. They adopted Greek for their written tongue, and Zoroastrian doctrines thus became known in the Greco-Roman world. Study is made accordingly of Zoroastrian contributions to Hellenistic thought, and to Judaism, Christianity and Mithraism; and an excursus provides a thorough reassessment of the Zoroastrian pseudepigrapha.

Les travaux de l’iranisant slovéno-polonais Marijan Molé (1924-1963) ont exercé sur les sciences religieuses une profonde influence qui se laisse observer jusqu’à nos jours. En à peine quinze ans (1948-1963), il a su donner une impulsion sans précédent aux études iraniennes, grâce à l’étude minutieuse des corpus allant de l’Avesta et de la littérature moyen-perse zoroastrienne aux traités de mystique islamique, en passant par les épopées persanes et les gestes mythiques. Trop tôt interrompu, le vaste projet qu’il avait mis en œuvre dès ses années d’étude à Cracovie et qu’il poursuivit à Paris et à Téhéran avait pour axe principal la mise au jour d’un système unitaire qui sous-tendrait l’évolution d’une doctrine religieuse sur la longue durée, une « continuité iranienne ». La découverte récente de son Nachlass (IRHT et BULAC, Paris) nous fournit l’occasion de faire un état des lieux de son héritage et de tenter de mettre en lumière l’originalité de sa démarche et son apport à l’histoire des idées et au débat intellectuel sur les religions de l’Iran, en dégageant à la fois les acquis et les impasses, les innovations et les prolongements.Le présent volume rassemble les contributions sur le zoroastrisme et la mystique islamique, présentées à la journée d’étude internationale intitulée « Entre le mazdéisme et l’islam », dédiée à l’œuvre de Marijan Molé, qui s’est tenue le 24 juin 2016 à Paris.

"The Ayādgār ī Jāmāspīg (the Memorial of Jāmāsp) is one of the most popular Zoroastrian literary texts. In all likelihood, it was designed as a layman's encyclopedia. The text has been preserved in three manuscript traditions: Pahlavi, Pāzand and Pārsi. Based on the Pārsi manuscript tradition, the best preserved of the three, Agostini presents a new and complete philological edition of this work. This rich contribution includes a commentary on the most problematic and interesting historical and religious topics that have shaped the work's narrative."-- Publisher description.
