"The Sanskrit Yasna Manuscript S1" Publication Announcement

We are delighted to announce the publication of the inaugural volume in the Corpus Avesticum series.

The manuscript S1 is one of the chief witnesses to the Sanskrit Yasna, containing the Avestan text of the Zoroastrian Yasna liturgy to chapter 46.19, together with a Sanskrit translation and commentary. This book contains the complete, full-colour set of facsimile images of S1. An introduction by Leon Goldman provides an overview of the Zoroastrian Sanskrit tradition together with a discussion of the S1 manuscript covering its physical appearance, its age and history, and for the first time, a detailed palaeographic analysis of the Avestan and Sanskrit text.

This publication is available directly from the publisher Brill (http://www.brill.com/products/book/sanskrit-yasna-manuscript-s1).
