SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The main object of this volume is to provide an overview of the most important extant literary sources in Old and Middle Iranian languages--the languages of the Achaemenid, Parthian and Sasanian periods culminating in the resource of Pahlavi Persian which fed so directly into the language of the later great Persian poets. --From publisher's description.
