Excerpt from The Sacred Books of the East; Vol. 23: Translated by Various Oriental ScholarsFor a satisfactory translation of these texts; the etymo logical and comparative method is generally considered as the best or as the only possible one; on account of the entire absence of any traditional interpretation. I have tried; however; to reduce the sphere of etymological guess work to its narrowest limits; with the help of different Pahlavi; Persian; and Sanskrit translations; which are as yet unpublished; and have been neglected by former trans lators. I found such translations for the Sirozahs for Vasts I; VI; VII; XI; XXIII; XXIV; and for the Nyayis1 (besides the already published translations of Vasts XXI and XXII).About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

They've successfully offered students insightful contextualization that is concise enough to serve as brief introductions to the environment and circumstances of violent social conflict that the original documents emerged from. As well-crafted as the monograph element is; it successfully serves the greater purpose of allowing students to extract not only the obvious significance of each primary source; but they also leave room for the more intuitive students to deduce some of the more nuanced details of document interpretation; including noteworthy paradoxes; bias; and Atlantic mercantile empire from the larger perspective--notable injustice in not blatantly highlighted; though victimization of marginalized; subjugated; and often underrepresented groups in the historical record are allocated their appropriate space; giving students credit for recognizing and advocating these increasingly important issues as social history continues to take up an increasingly significant role within the discipline. Questions that initiate break-out discussions can be utilized due to their open-ended composition. It is an arrangement of original document duplicates that is thoughtfully arranged; as well as an obvious choice to put on the required reading list for your core U.S. or Colonial History class. One of its most substantial features of Colonial North America and the Atlantic World: A History in Documents is its disproportionate; but indispensable focus on primary documents created by men and women-Amerindians; Africans; and some Europeans-that have historically lacked much of a voice in the social sciences until the past few decades.
