Description
This remarkable volume contains carefully selected extracts from the extensive travels of Mons. Anquetil Du Perron through India during the 18th century. The work is primarily devoted to his meticulous researches concerning the life, teachings, and religion of Zoroaster, the ancient Persian prophet and founder of Zoroastrianism.
Translated by Kavasji Edalji Kanga, a distinguished Parsi scholar, this text provides invaluable primary source material for understanding early European scholarly engagement with Eastern religions. Du Perron’s firsthand observations and encounters with Indian Zoroastrian communities offer unique perspectives on religious practices, philosophy, and cultural traditions that existed during that period.
This work is essential for historians, religious scholars, and students interested in comparative religion, the history of Orientalism, and the development of religious studies as an academic discipline. It bridges Eastern and Western intellectual traditions and illuminates the rich spiritual heritage of Zoroastrianism.
