Abstract
The paper analyzes two passages belonging to the seventh book of the Dēnkard [Dk] that had earlier been studied and translated by Marijan Molé, presenting a new translation, which improves our understanding of the text. Molé’s – and de Menasce’s – approach to the jargon of theological Pahlavi texts, often depending on the Middle Persian Zand of the Avesta, is briefly discussed here. This paper also shows that Dk VII,1,7 is most probably a rendering of an original Zand passage,I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
