Buyaner David. Penitential Sections of the Xorde Avesta (patits) Critical Edition with Commentary and Glossary

Wiesbaden: Harrassowitz, 2016. — x, 519 p. — (Iranica, Volume 22). — ISBN 978-3-447-10603-0; e-ISBN PDF 978-3-447-19491-4.Choosing the recitals of penance (patits) as a first step towards an intended edition of the Xorde Avesta is justified by their unique character as Zoroastrian
prayers which despite their great importance for every-day religious life have no Avestan prototype. This fact led to their being included in some Xorde
Avesta codices in their Pāzand versions. Besides, for three of the four patits, namely Xwad Patit, Patit ī pašēmānīh (also known as Patit ī Ādurbād) and Patit ī murdagān (Patit ī ruwānīg), Pahlavi versions exist, which provided a starting point for the present study.Acknowledgements
