Zarathustrian Gathas In Metre And Rythm

Zarathustrian Gathas In Metre And Rythm is a book written by Lawrence H. Mills that provides a comprehensive study of the Gathas, the sacred hymns of the ancient Persian prophet Zarathustra. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the historical and cultural context of the Gathas, and the second part providing a detailed analysis of the Gathas themselves. Mills examines the Gathas in terms of their poetic structure, meter, and rhythm, and explores their themes and symbolism. He also discusses the religious and philosophical ideas that are expressed in the Gathas, including the concept of the one God, the dualistic nature of reality, and the importance of ethical behavior. The book is intended for scholars and students of religion, as well as anyone interested in the history and philosophy of ancient Persia. It provides a valuable resource for understanding the Gathas and their significance in the development of Persian religion and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
