We will now notice a few of the most important of these books. The sixth, seventh, eighth, and eleventh are translations and commentaries in Pehlevi of the Avesta, Vendidad, Yasna, Visparad,* and the Khordeh-Avesta. The ninth and the tenth are the Pehlevi books on the subjects treated in the Avesta “nusks” of the same name, though the description of the contents of the latter given in the Ravayets differs a little from the contents of these books.

The Dinkard? treats of miscellaneous subjects. It gives an explanation of various religious matters and duties, describes the characteristics of the Ameshaspends, solves many difficult questions about history,
