Dealer Notes

Zoroastrianism is one of the world’s oldest continuously practiced religions.
The most important texts of the religion are those of the Avesta.
Anquetil Du Perron (1731-1805) was a French scholar who studied Hebrew at the University of Paris, having developed a keen interest in Eastern Languages and religious mysteries. He went on to learn Arabic & Persian.
