University of Texas Press Witches Whores and Sorcerers
Book Synopsis Early Iranians believed evil had to have a source outside of God, which led to the concept of an entity as powerful and utterly evil as God is potent and good. These two forces, good and evil, which have always vied for superiority, needed helpers in this struggle. According to the Zoroastrians, every entity had to take sides, from the cosmic level to the microcosmic self. One of the results of this battle was that certain humans were thought to side with evil. Who were these allies of that great Evil Spirit? Women were inordinately singled out. Male healers were forbidden to deal with female health disorders because of the fear of the polluting power of feminine blood. Female healers, midwives, and shamans were among those who were accused of collaborating with the Evil Spirit, because they healed women. Men who worked to prepare the dead were also suspected of secret evil. Evil even showed up as animals such as frogs, snakes, and bugs of all sorts, which scuttled to the cTrade ReviewMendoza Forrest's study is a comprehensive contribution to the study of the concept of evil in early Iran and a pioneering work. It succeeds to combine its thematic structure without losing sight of historical developments through referring to the earliest compositions and then following them up with appropriate later compositions. * Journal of American Academy of Religion *Table of Contents The Avesta and Its Translation by Prods Oktor Skjærvø Preface Acknowledgments Introduction 1.

University of Texas Press Exile and the Nation
Book SynopsisHonorable Mention, Hamid Naficy Iranian Studies Book Award from the Association of Iranian Studies In the aftermath of the seventh-century Islamic conquest of Iran, Zoroastrians departed for India. Known as the Parsis, they slowly lost contact with their ancestral land until the nineteenth century, when steam-powered sea travel, the increased circulation of Zoroastrian-themed books, and the philanthropic efforts of Parsi benefactors sparked a new era of interaction between the two groups. Tracing the cultural and intellectual exchange between Iranian nationalists and the Parsi community during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Exile and the Nation shows how this interchange led to the collective reimagining of Parsi and Iranian national identity—and the influence of antiquity on modern Iranian nationalism, which previously rested solely on European forms of thought. Iranian nationalism, Afshin Marashi argues, was also the byproduct of theTrade ReviewA groundbreaking book...There is little doubt that Exile and the Nation will become foundational reading for any student of Iranian modernity and nationalism, as it provides the most comprehensive picture of both the history of Zoroastrian revival as a branch of Iranian nationalism but also a complete historiographical account that explains the turbulent political history of modern Iran. * Diaspora: A Journal of Transnational Studies *[Exile and the Nation] succeeds in reconceptualizing Iranian modernity, and Iranian nationalism especially, in light of the Parsi-Iranian encounter. Through the stories of the book’s five protagonists, Exile and the Nation shows how Parsis played pivotal roles in the development of the ideologies that defined twentieth-century Iran. At the same time, Marashi’s book expertly weaves together disparate subfields within Iranian studies—namely, classical Zoroastrianism, colonialism, and Sufism—that are rarely in conversation. As such, scholars in the field will doubtlessly find Exile and the Nation enlightening and instructive. * Iranian Studies *The perspective in [Exile and the Nation] is truly transnational, and its approach offers methodological as well as substantive inspiration for future studies…an intellectually provocative and engaging read. * TRAFO—Blog for Transregional Research *[A] well-written, clearly argued study...Exile and the Nation is transnational history at its best; it demonstrates how those who helped revived the ancient ties between Iran and India, and then molded them to fit modern nationalism, were inspired by ideas that ostensibly came from the East but were leavened with German as much as British romantic elements. It is especially good at showing the insurmountable dilemma they faced: how to jump across centuries to Iran’s pre-Islamic, Zoroastrian past for inspiration, without disregarding let alone eliminating the country’s rich Islamic heritage. * Middle East Journal *[Marashi's] engaging biographies of two Zoroastrians (one Parsi, one Iranian), two poets (one an Iranian translator of Zoroastrian texts, one a Bengali Nobel laureate), and an Iranian journalist with pro-Nazi sympathies contextualize the development of Iranian nationalism between the Constitutional Revolution and the 1930s, highlighting the significance of Parsi Zoroastrians to the related restoration of 'Iranian authenticity.' * Journal of Asian Studies *An exciting new book...Exile and the Nation is a richly textured study of some of the main threads that make up Iranian national culture. It makes a number of important interventions…[Marashi's] book should be in the hands of every Iranian interested in the history of ideas and the trajectories of Iranian national identities. * Peyk Magazine *In showing how new scholarly methods, mass audience books, and an alternative national identity were imported from Bombay, then adapted to Iran’s contrasting sociopolitical context in unforeseen ways, Exile and the Nation is as important a contribution to colonial Indian history as it is to understanding the origins of the modern Middle East. * Los Angeles Review of Books *[Exile and the Nation] is an extremely well-researched and well-written work that addresses a topic that has yet to be adequately addressed…There is also a welcomed element of storytelling to the book not often found in scholarly, historical works...it is in both the richness of the biographical details Marashi provides and his versatile and nuanced account of the intellectual and political developments, that the depth of Marashi's research and writing skills most shine...this book is highly recommended for anyone interested in the history of modern Iran, a better understanding of nationalism in a phenomenological sense, or a well-grounded, historically based story related in a highly entertaining and informative way. * Mashriq & Mahjar *Table of Contents Note on Transliteration and Dates Acknowledgments Introduction Chapter 1.

Association pour l'Avancement des Etudes Iraniennes Vers une édition de la liturgie longue
Book SynopsisLa liturgie longue est la cérémonie la plus importante de la tradition sacerdotale zoroastrienne. La plupart des textes avestiques qu'on connaît ont été composés pour être récités dans cette liturgie. Elle a acquis la forme, dans laquelle elle est célébrée encore aujourd'hui, vraisemblablement déjà à l'époque achéménide. Comme chaque cérémonie vivante et avec une longue histoire, elle a connu un bon nombre de variantes synchroniques et diachroniques. Néanmoins, les éditions actuelles du texte avestique récité dans cette liturgie ne tiennent compte de son caractère rituel, ni des variantes synchroniques, ni de l'évolution de la liturgie et de la façon de réciter le récitatif. Dans ce livre, on a essayé de montrer les découvertes les plus récentes qui invalident la méthodologie des éditions actuelles et de proposer quelques alternatives afin de susciter la discussion. The long liturgy is the most important ceremony in Zoroastrian priestly tradition. Most extant Avestan texts have been composed for their performance within this liturgy. It is highly likely that it acquired its current form, in which it is still celebrated, during the Achaemenid period or even earlier. Like any living ceremony with a long history, it has several synchronic and diachronic variations. Nevertheless, current editions of the Avestan text recited in the liturgy do not take into account its ritual nature, synchronic variations or its evolution over time, or even the changes in the way the text itself is recited. The aim of this book is to report on the recent discoveries that raise doubts over the methodology used in current editions, and propose certain alternatives in order to further the debate.

Association pour l'Avancement des Etudes Iraniennes Cosmogonie et eschatologie: Articulations
Book SynopsisLe volume réunit sept études portant sur deux thèmes majeurs: la cosmogonie et l'eschatologie zoroastriennes. L'historiographie critique et l'enquête philologique de la littérature exégétique en moyen-perse sont les méthodes par lesquelles l'auteur met en avant la manière dont ces deux anciens concepts, spécifiques aussi à la théologie chrétienne, sont livrés à l'histoire des religions. Un des enjeux du livre est d'identifier et d'illustrer les mécanismes spécifiques du système religieux zoroastrien, à savoir, en particulier, la symétrie entre le commencement et la fin du monde. Les Addenda réunissent une série de documents inédits importants pour l'histoire des études zoroastriennes en France. The book includes seven studies that use historiographical and philological methods to explore the historical and religious aspects of Zoroastrian cosmogony and eschatology. It undertakes a close reading of Middle Persian literature to identify and illustrate specific aspects of this religious system, such as the symmetry between the beginning and the end of the world. The author reads the historiography of Iranian studies, paying special attention to the French scholarship on this topic, in order to show how the modern history of religions transformed Christian theological concepts in its analysis of the Zoroastrian religion. The Addenda include several unpublished documents, relevant for the history of Zoroastrian studies in France.

Peeters Publishers Piran und Zeyaratgah: Schreine und
Book SynopsisPiran ist der umfassendste Begriff, mit dem iranische Zarathustrier ihre Schreine als mit Agency ausgestattete religiose Entitaten bezeichnen, wogegen Zeyaratgah auf ihre Funktion als Wallfahrtsorte verweist. Diese Studie untersucht die zarathustrischen Schreine und Wallfahrtsorte, die sich nur in Iran finden und oftmals nach religiosen Figuren, wie den Izedan, benannt sind. Im Gegensatz zu muslimischen Schreinen sind sie nicht mit 'heiligen Personen' verbunden, und es finden sich in ihnen keine Grabanlagen. Obgleich vormoderne historische Quellen zu den Piran selten sind, wird deutlich, dass zarathustrische und muslimische Schreinkulturen gemeinsame Wurzeln und eine Geschichte wechselseitiger Beeinflussung teilen. Die wahrend einer Feldforschung im Jahre 2001 vom Autor erfassten 106 historischen und zeitgenossischen zarathustrischen Schreine werden in Einzelkapiteln mit umfangreichem historischen und ethnographischen Quellenmaterial vorgestellt. Auf diesem Material basierend wird im systematischen Hauptkapitel der allgemeine sozio-historische Kontext der Schreine dargestellt und die religiosen Rituale sowie sozialen Praktiken, die in Verbindung mit den Schreinen durchgefuhrt werden, beschrieben. In diesem Abschnitt wird daruber hinaus eine Klassifikation nach raumlich-geographischen und architektonischen Kriterien entwickelt, welche die verschiedenen sozialen und religiosen Funktionen der Schreine widerspiegelt. Dies mundet in eine Typologie von privaten, lokalen, translokalen und regionalen Schreinen bis hin zu uberregionalen Wallfahrtszentren, die in der Moderne alle auf ihre Weise zu einer eigenstandigen iranisch-zarathustrischen Identitat beitragen. Die dem Buch zugrundeliegende Dissertation wurde durch das "Ministerium fur Kultur und Islamische Rechtleitung" der Islamischen Republik Iran im Rahmen von "Cultural Research of the Year" im Jahre 2003 mit dem "First Award" ausgezeichnet.

Peeters Publishers Maniiu et la mythologie protozoroastrienne: Étude
Book SynopsisDieux et déesses aniconiques, abstraits, souvent anonymes, imbriqués les uns dans les autres, impliqués dans les rouages d'un rite méconnu, tel est le monde mythologique d'un Zarathushtra des origines, lorsque l'auteur des Cantates vieil-avestiques disait encore «lui et moi». Toutes les péripéties mythiques sont techniques, dictées par la haute idée que le poète se fait du grand dieu Ahura Mazda. Avec la certitude que le Roi vêtu du ciel a dispensé la connaissance à Zarathushtra, le poète officiant développe le Maniiu, l'idée, le sentiment, la conviction que, pour retrouver au-delà de la mort la vache qui a pu le nourrir, la science divine lui sera bien utile. En effet, elle régit la façon de conjuguer toutes les pièces, concrètes et abstraites, de la célébration cultuelle, un insaisissable complexe dont l'harmonieuse réussite portant le nom d'Asa donnera à la divinité les moyens de jouer son rôle.

Peeters Publishers Quand les dualistes polémiquaient: zoroastriens
Book SynopsisLes auteurs de cet ouvrage montrent que le zoroastrisme et le manichéisme, qui partagent une vision dualiste du monde et des entités primordiales, ont posé de façon similaire au judaïsme, au christianisme et à l’islam la question du rapport des adeptes à la vérité et donc à l’erreur des autres. Cet ouvrage apporte donc une pierre fondamentale à l’étude du phénomène de la controverse religieuse dans l’Antiquité tardive et au début du Moyen ge. Il nous permet de mieux appréhender deux systèmes de pensée de l’Orient, en ce qu’ils ont de commun mais aussi dans leur irréductible singularité. The authors of this collected volume show that Zoroastrianism and Manichaeism, which share a dualist vision of the world and the primordial entities, have raised in a similar way to Judaism, Christianity and Islam the question of the relationship of their followers to truth and therefore the error made by others. The volume makes a fundamental contribution to the study of the phenomenon of religious controversy in Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages. It allows us to better understand two Eastern systems of thought, both in what they have in common and in their irreducible individuality.

Book SynopsisLes cinq Gatha, avec le Yasna Haptanhaiti, sont les seuls témoignages des conceptions zoroastriennes de la première heure: l'archidémon Anhra Maniiu n'était pas encore né. Le Sentiment du Savoir, la conviction des adorateurs qu'Ahura Mazda sait ce qui est bon et pourra, de ce fait, leur apporter son aide, tel est le sens du titre de la troisième Gatha, tiré de son incipit. Pour la recherche de la portée primitive des Gatha de l'Avesta et de leur statut premier, il est pris, dans le présent ouvrage, l'exemple de la troisième qui est alors présentée, étudiée de façon approfondie et traduite. Cette recherche est accompagnée de plusieurs outils grammaticaux.
