7 PREFACE THE fascinating field of Avestan literature has been strangely neglected in our country. I have tried in a modest way to open it up for students of poetry and students of religion, who will I trust at least recognise from these pages that the subject is worth pursuing further. The little book ventures on ground which is full of pitfalls for investigators who are not able to give undivided attention. I have therefore appreciated very specially the help of two old friends who have looked over my proofs the Editor, with whom I read the GatMs under Cowell long ago, and (for the first half of the book) Prof. Williams Jackson, whose paramount authority in Iranian subjects every expert knows. To them and to other scholars named in the book itself I offer very warm thanks, only asking the reader not to hold them responsible when I have dared to be original and very likely wrong. J. H. M. WESLEYAN COLLEGE, DIDSBURY. August 1911.

11 TRANSCRIPTION AND PRONUNCIATION The alphabet which appears in Avestan MSB is replaced throughout with Western letters. The system of transliteration here adopted has been governed mainly by the desire for simplicity : no attempt has been made to differentiate certain sounds which have separate symbols, but no intelligible distinction of quality. Transliterations enclosed in brackets are used in the body of the text, the others where an Avestan or Old Persian word is given as such. Vowels : a à (à in father) e ë (cf. u in bwt) e ë (as in let, fete) o ô (as in note) Consonants : k g (hard) X (kh) (as in loch) y (gh) (dialectic Ger. Ta^e) c (ch) (as in church) j (as in Judge) t (hard) d ê (th) (as in ba,th) à (dh) (as in ba^e) t (th) (? nearly = 6 or Ô) P b f % (as in French an) I (as in law) i I (as in quinine) u ii (as in pwll, pool). w n (ng) (as in sang) n m y v r (trilled) s (as in seal) z (as in zeal) s (sh) (as in sure) z (zh) (as in a^ure) h XV (hv) (as in Welsh chwech).
