The “Zartusht-Nāmah” is a unique account on the life and times of Zoroaster and his deeds. It was written by Zartusht Bahram Pazhdu - a Zoroastrian writer of the early 13th century. He was famous for his Persian poems “Zartusht-Nāmah” or “Zarātusht-Nāmah” (“The Book of Zoroaster”) and "Ardāvirāf-Nāmah” (“The Book of Ardaviraf”). Both poems were written based on old Pahlavi manuscripts. You can enjoy reading the first ever English translation of the “Zartusht-Nāmah”, made by E. B. Eastwick in 1843. The edition is accompanied by full-color illustrations (Softcover edition).
