		But this Sassanian origin of the Avesta must not be misunderstood: from the remnants and heterogenepus fragments at their disposal, the diasceuast or diasceuasts composed a new canonerected a new edifice from the materials of the old.
		The original country of the religion, and the seat of the Avesta language, ought perhaps to be sought rather in the east of Iran (Seistnn and the neighboring districts).
		The language of the Avesta travelled with the Zoroastrian religion and with the main body of the priesthood, in all probability, that is to say, from east to west; within the limits of Iran it became international.

		The Avesta has special claims upon the interest of Jewish scholars, there being certain points of similarity between the Avesta and the Old as well as the New Testament, points that are striking or close enough to call forth frequent comment.
		The Avesta represents the ancient priestly code of the Magi; for Zoroaster, or Zarathushtra, as his name is called in the original texts, has stood in history as the typical Magian, as the sage, priest, prophet, and
		Whatever may be the value of these traditions regarding the Avesta, the fate of the sacred book was connected with the history of the people, and with the rise and fall of the fortunes of Iran.

		The extant Avesta is all that remains of a much larger body of scripture, apparently Zoroaster's transformation of a very ancient tradition.
		Zend-Avesta literally means "interpretation of the Avesta." It originally referred to the commonly used Farsi translation but has often been used as the title of Western translations.
		It is certainly an exaggeration to say that in many places in the Avesta we are still at the stage of spelling out the letters and that some translations are no more intelligible than the original text.

	AVESTA: The Scriptures of Zoroastrianism
		The texts come from times that may be as early as 1700 BC and as late as 400 A.D. Until recently, the Avesta was known in the West as the "Zend-Avesta." This is a misnomer and was caused by the misinterpretation of the word "Zend." This means "commentary" in middle Persian (Pazand).
		And the Koran was dictated to Mohammed from a heavenly being - not composed by Mohammed.
		The Avesta has been preserved through millennia of hardship by the devotion of priests and people who kept it alive in memory, sacred words preserved in linguistic amber until the modern era when their code was cracked.

	Scriptures of Zoroastrianism, Vendidad Introduction 2
		Avesta received an unlooked-for light from the poems of the Indian Rishis, and the long-forgotten past and the origin of many gods and heroes, whom the Parsi worships and extols without knowing who they were and whence they came, were suddenly revealed by the Vedas.
		Translating the Avesta in accordance with the Pahlavi is not translating the Avesta, but only translating the Pahlavi version, which, wherever it has been deciphered, is found to wander strangely from the true meaning of the original text.
		The Avesta and the Veda are two echoes of one and the same voice, the reflex of one and the same thought: the Vedas, therefore, are both the best lexicon and the best commentary to the Avesta.

		Khordeh Avesta (Smaller Avesta), the popular book of daily prayers since the printing press came into vogue, is neither an independent book, nor a salvage of the wrecked nasks, nor a standard scripture of specific chapters and length.
		The remaining parts of the extant Avesta and Pahlavi writings have their ethical, historical, geographical, and anthropological values and are of great importance.

	Avesta An Introduction
		Avesta is name given to the most ancient language of the Iranian branch.
		The remaining six nasks of this category, in a slightly different dialect now conventionally called the “Younger” or “Later” Avesta, perhaps the dialect spoken by the priests in control, were later commentaries and supplementaries concerning the first nask.
		It was the Pahlavi renderings on which the latter priests relied to expound the religion, because Avesta, as the name “a+vista” reveals, had become an “unknown” and mystical divine language no more understood by the people, including the Sassanian and post-Sassanian priests.

		For a long time the texts of the Avesta were orally transmitted, and did not come to be written down before 6th century BCE, which is about 1,000 years after they first began to be used.
		The origin of the term Avesta is unclear, but could probably be translated as 'foundation' or 'texts of praising'.

		Another presumptive evidence of the groundwork of the Avesta being anterior to the age of the Sassanians is given by the language in which it is written.
		According to the Avesta burying corpses in the earth is one of the most heinous sins that can be committed[3]; we know that under the Sassanians a prime minister, Seoses, paid with his life for an infraction of that law.
		In the Avesta itself we read that Zoroaster was born and received the law from Ormazd on a mountain, by the river Darega[5], a name which strikingly reminds one of the modern Darah river, which falls from the Sebîlân mount into the Aras.
