 achaemenian script (Ganjname= treasure book)         Achaemenian

 Achaemenian empire (6th BC- 3th BC)had a great library in Perspolis that is pointed by some greek historians like Xenophon. but Alexander the great destroyed that in Perspolis firing and were burned there, in 3th BCE. he wanted to Helenization in ancient Iran. he ordred 20000 of his soldiers to marry with Iranian girls and brought more than 30000 greeks into Iran. but he didn’t succeeded.greeks got lost in Iran and no his language nor his Helenism did not remain .just their philosophia and sciences and some views of their art maybe could find in Iran.but the Achaemenian books were burned in Alexander conquest but Avesta was saved.
Iran in Sassanid Empire

 in Parthian era it(2th BC-3th ACE) was middle Persian the official language.in that time they had a laic and federal empire ,there were much academies to following helenists , their culture was combined from Iranian and Babylon and orarto or Assyrian and helenic arts.but today few things is remained from Parthian.something like two novel named DRAKHT ASURIK( assyrian tree) and YADIGAR ZARIRAN (memory of Zariran).the other living things is some buildings in Iran and Iraq and Armenia.and some script and scrolls.
Iranian’s art in Parthian era           A Parthian king                  

in the sassanid(3th - 7th ACE) empire of Iran you can find an honourable literatre. in middle persian literature exist some subjects contain: religion-philosophia-novel-story-poem-sciences-history-Ideology and the other.but in Arab conquest of Iran books were burned or disappear by Arabs and remained just number of them.after attackting Iranian’s religion Changed from Zoroasterian to Islam and they payed attention to Former Persian books and many of that books were translated again to  new Persian or Arabic. Shahname(epic of kings) one of the greatest books is one of them that translated from middle Persian reference named “Khwatay namag”.Famous Iranian historians like Tabari and Ruzbe Daduye( Ibn mughafa) Used middle Persian books as the base of Ancient history of Iran.after the caliphate dynasty Iranian started to find the loss books and a number of  them were rewrited,again, in middle persian.
some of the more important of those books are Bundahishn and Ardavirafnama,ONE THOUSAND ONE NIGHTS( wich is incorrectly known as Arabian nights) Shapurgan (by Manichae) and etc.
  But now ,the ancient books from Middle Persian which exist today,  is more than one hundred books. and also some exist books in Avestian( 1000 BCE- christ birth) are about 7 books, contains : Gatha(lifestyle an worship education)-wispred- Yasna(celebrations)-Yasht-Vandidad(anti satanism and the creation)-Xorde Avesta-datik-Hatik mansrik.
 in middle Persian books there were  many books with Avestian origin. that their Avestian version is lost.include nirangistan (about lifestyle and ethics)-Bahram yasht-Hurmozd Yasht-haptan yasht-Afaringane gahanbar-Mah yesht-Xurshet yash-Farhang Evim ( avestian-persian dictionary) and the other,in all they are more than Middle Persian book with Avestian Version.

zoroaster,the ancient Iranian prophet is the founder of zoroastrianism .his birth probably accured in more than thousand years before the birth of the christ.he encouraged people to work and doing good beneficence and goodness.his toughts has created on three bases: good speech -good behaviour -good thought. it was so simple to understand and ancient people could know his toughts and believe his new religion.in afew times zoroasterianism became prevalent and many people in many lands from iran to central asia ,Armenia and yemen believe him.


This religion was an Aryan faith and differs to the Abrahimic religions.however zoroaster's toughts was easy to be understood, but it had a great philosophia that is taken from aryan thoughts and their believes.much aryan elements are cleary evident in zoroasterianism . in the later comments , religious lyrics , worships and blessings those elements widely is used.
   zoroasterianism Holy book is Avesta.it is a collection of zoroasterian books and texts that are divided in 5 books.the oldest texts is gathic text and gahans of Yasna that are the zoroaster's speeches.they are named GATHAHA in persian. they are so beautifull poems and lyrics.Avesta has divided in 5 books:

3-vandidad: this book has 22 fargard and consist of the discussion between Ahuramazda(the god) and zartusht(prophet).this book also try to show the goodness way and separate it from Ahriman(devil) way.
4-yasht: it has 21 hymnes and is a book about the praise and worship.
5-khorde avesta : or the little avesta is wroten by great mubad Azargoshasb in sassanid dynasty.this main book has many philosophical material and religious element of zartusht's toughts.the khorde avesta has divided in 4 parts:1,introduction - 2,four niayeshn (praises) 3,five gahs(five times) that is about the time of praying 4,four afaringan(blessing) that also speak around the birth , dead and the goal of life.

other related books:


 there was so much zoroastrian books but today, number of them is lost,it may because of Arab conquest or the other reason;however today we have more than 50 religious book in pahlavi(middle persian) about this faith.some of them are:
