Please join us on Thursday, October 28, 2021, 10:00 - 11:00 AM PDT for a virtual book talk titled "Primal Creation: A New Translation of the Zoroastrian Bundahišn" by Dr. Domenico Agostini (Tel Aviv University) and Dr. Samuel Thrope (Hebrew University). The Bundahišn, 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 Bundahišn and discuss the book's importance in Iranian culture and civilization. This event is presented by UCI Jordan Center for Persian Studies and Culture.
