The Bundahisn, meaning primal or foundational creation, is the central Zoroastrian account of creation, cosmology, and eschatology. Compiled sometime in the ninth century CE, it is one of the most important surviving testaments to Zoroastrian literature in the Middle Persian language and to pre-Islamic Iranian culture. In this talk, we will present our new translation of the Bundahisn and discuss the book's importance in Iranian culture and civilization. You may purchase the book here on Amazon.

This event is presented by UCI Jordan Center for Persian Studies and Culture.
