The Findings: Zoroastrianism | Encyclopedia of Mystery

Zoroastrian2
- The GāthāsThe oldest copies containing the Gāthās are two Yasna manuscripts, J2 and K5, written in Gujarat in 1323 by the priest Mihrābān Kayhusraw.
- The AvestaAnquetil-Duperron's Avesta of 1771 drew William Jones's charge that the Parsis had duped him with forgeries; Tychsen and Heeren vindicated him only in 1791–94.
Roman Mithraism1
- The Tauroctony and the Seven GradesCumont's 1899 thesis of a Roman Zoroastrianism was attacked at the 1971 Manchester congress, yet not killed: Roger Beck (2006) still finds it plausible up to a point.
Zoroastrianism1
- The Ātash Bahrām and the DakhmaCalling the Udwada fire 'Iranshah', as the earthly representative of Yazdegerd III, cannot be traced before Jivanji Modi's 1905 work, Mary Boyce and Firoze Kotwal found in 2003.
