• The Gathas translated by D. J. Irani. The Gathas are the hymns composed by Zarathushtra, who lived around 1300 BCE. They are poetry in the metrical forms of ancient Indo-Iranian. They constitute a small book with ~6000 workds, in ~1300 lines, set in 238 verses, which are organized in 17 chapters (Haiti or Ha).
