About the Book
A
staunchly traditionalist Zardushti of Kerman, Arbāb Jamshid Soroush Soroushian [8.XI.1914
─ 28.II.1999] devoted his scholarly energy to the balanced investigation
of his ancestral religion, history and culture. Keeping apace with developments
in the fuller understanding of the civilization of pre-Islamic Iran despite the
turbulent late Qajar period (mid-19th to
Early 20th century), he
determinedly set himself the noble and unremitting task of disseminating
knowledge of true Zarathushtrianism among his co-religionists
and congeners. As such he attracted the gratitude, attention and warm
admiration of some two generations of scholars worldwide and doubtless of
future ones internationally. His
treasured memory is celebrated in two commemorative volumes of which this
present compilations is the English section.
Far
reaching in its range as the wide scholarly interest of its internationally
acclaimed dedicatee, the late Jamshid Soroush Soroushian, this English
section of the two volume commemorative set reflects up to date perspectives on
the early and modern history, and cultures of the civilization of pre-Islamic
