Research related to commentary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

My research interest in the Zoroastrian commentaries spans four millennia, starting from the first Young Avestan commentaries of Old Avestan texts, followed by the Pahlavi translations with commentaries of the Avestan literature known as Zand, up to the Sanskrit and New Persian versions thereof. I try to understand the exegetical processes that guided the Zoroastrian priests in their interpretations, and the influence of such processes on the oral and written transmission of the Zoroastrian literature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
