The Institute of Iranian Studies invites you to the International Conference 5–6 June “The Sources of the Polemical Treatise Škand Gumānīg Wizār”
Škand Gumānīg Wizār (The Doubt-Breaking Explanation) is the only surviving Zoroastrian polemical treatise. It was written in Middle Persian in the 9th or 10th century AD, under the Abbasid dynasty, in Iran. While the original has been lost, a Pāzand (Middle Persian in Avestan characters) version has been preserved.
For more about the conference, see its announcement on the website of the Institut für Iranistik, Freie Universität Berlin. The poster is here:
I will be presenting on technical terms: “Is Zoroastrian exegesis a practice without technical vocabulary? On (the absence of) technical terms”.
