    THE MANUSCRTpTs or ð¿Nen ¿NenÃðn-N,iua n¡vn ;n¿j vt-vI nà r-NÃtw ø BY zARToSr-n nnnnÃvr-n paZnû Olga Yastrebova Zarto$t-e Bahrãm was a Zoroastrian poet who lived in Iran in the late 13th century. He is one of the few Zoroastrian authors who wrote in Persian and whose name and scraps of biographical information have been preserved to our days. The most significant and well known of his works are Ardãya-Wrãf-nãmet, ëangranghãðe' nãme2, andQesse-ye 'lJmar Xattãb va iãhzdde'ye irãn-zamr-n3, a collection of parables on the perishable nature of this world.a All of them were written in hazaj- e mosaddas metre. For several centuries tradition ascribed to him the authorship of Zarto!çnãme (onginally Mowlûd-Zartoflt)s, but as Ch. Rempis and R. Ahfi showed in their studies published independently in 1963 and 1964, the real author was another Zoroastrian, named Kay-Kâüs b. Kay-Xosrow b. Dãrã, from the city of Ray.6 The episode of Zaratustra's biography which is the subject of Õangranghãëe- nãme, is nol found in any other source except this poem. After Zaratu$tra's religion had been successfully disseminated in the kingdom of Go5tasp, the news reached the Indian sage Õangranghãðe. This wise man is said to have been one of the teachers of GoStasp's famous counsellor Jãmãsp. ðangranghaðe summoned Zarto5t to take part in a dispute, and spent two years preparing for it. He devoted all his time to gathering difficult questions and riddles. After the long period of I Text published twice: Jamasp Asa 1902; Afift 1964.

  • L2/20-246 Teeth and Bellies: a Proposed Model for Encoding Book Pahlavi
    L2/20-246 Teeth and bellies: a proposed model for encoding Book Pahlavi Roozbeh Pournader (WhatsApp) September 7, 2020 Background In Everson 2002, a proposal was made to encode a unified Avestan and Pahlavi script in the Unicode Standard. The proposal went through several iterations, eventually leading to a separate encoding of Avestan as proposed by Everson and Pournader 2007a, in which Pahlavi was considered non-unifiable with Avestan due to its cursive joining property. The non-cursive Inscriptional Pahlavi (Everson and Pournader 2007b) and the cursive Psalter Pahlavi (Everson and Pournader 2011) were later encoded too. But Book Pahlavi, despite several attempts (see the Book Pahlavi Topical Document list at https://unicode.org/L2/ topical/bookpahlavi/), remains unencoded. Everson 2002 is peculiar among earlier proposals by proposing six Pahlavi archigraphemes, including an ear, an elbow, and a belly. I remember from conversations with Michael Everson that he intended these to be used for cases when a scribe was just copying some text without understanding the underlying letters, considering the complexity of the script and the loss of some of its nuances to later scribes. They could also be used when modern scholars wanted to represent a manuscript as written, without needing to over-analyze potentially controversial readings. Meyers 2014 takes such a graphical model to an extreme, trying to encode pieces of the writing system, most of which have some correspondence to letters, but with occasional partial letters (e.g. PARTIAL SHIN and FINAL SADHE-PARTIAL PE). Unfortunately, their proposal rejects joining properties for Book Pahlavi and insists that “[t]he joining behaviour of the final stems of the characters in Book Pahlavi is more similar to cursive variants of Latin than to Arabic”.

  • Why Was the Story of Arash-I Kamangir Excluded from the Shahnameh?” Iran Nameh, 29:2 (Summer 2014), 42-63
    Saghi Gazerani, “Why Was the Story of Arash-i Kamangir Excluded from the Shahnameh?” Iran Nameh, 29:2 (Summer 2014), 42-63. Why Was the Story of Arash-i Kamangir Excluded from the Shahnameh?* Saghi Gazerani Independent Scholar In contemporary Iranian culture, the legendary figure of Arash-i Kamangir, or Arash the Archer, is known and celebrated as the national hero par excellence. After all, he is willing to lay down his life by infusing his arrow with his life force in order to restore territories usurped by Iran’s enemy. As the legend goes, he does so in order to have the arrow move to the farthest point possible for the stretch of land over which the arrow flies shall be included in Iranshahr proper. The story without a doubt was popular for many centuries, but during the various upheavals of the twentieth century, the story of Arash the Archer was invoked, and in the hands of artists with various political leanings his figure was imbued with layers reflecting the respective artist’s ideological presuppositions.1 The most famous of modern renditions of Arash’s legend is Siavash Kasra’i’s narrative poem named after its protagonist. An excerpt of Kasra’i’s rendition of Arash’s story *For further discussion of this issue please see my ture,” www.iranicaonline.org (accessed March 3, forthcoming work, On the Margins of Historiog- 2014).

As epic of every nation is a mirror that shows their culture, nature and endogenous life, these relations and coordination of two Iranian and Greek epics, Shahnameh and Iliad and Odysses show proximity of the two nations in mirror of history. .Shahnameh has been divided into three mythological, heroic and historical parts Iliad and Odysses has been also composed by Homerus, famous Greek poet. Iliad book includes explanation of ten years war between Greece and Troas in 24 chapters and Odysses, which has 24 poems, is about Olis, one of heroes of Troas war and figures his braveries. These two great epics which show two known old culture, can be compared from different characteristics.
