Volume 4 of Pahlavi Texts was published in 1892 and comprises West's collation and analysis of the fragmentary evidence for and remnants of the Nasks, the twenty-one treatises compiling theological texts of the Sassanid empire. These were largely lost after the fall of the empire in the mid-seventh century CE.
Volume 5 of Pahlavi Texts was published in 1897 and includes texts from the Dinkard and Selections of Zad-sparam relating legendary marvels from creation to resurrection. West's translations of these texts offer easy access to the most valuable sources for Zoroaster's life and a prophetic chronology of the faith.
Volume 2 of Pahlavi Texts was published in 1882 and includes histories of the manuscripts of the ninth-century Dadistan-i Dinik and Epistles of Manuskihar, as well as noting their relevance to scholarship and Zoroastrian history. Their scope provides an insight into the nature of Zoroastrianism in the period.
Volume 3 of Pahlavi Texts was published in 1885 and includes the texts of Dina-i Mainog-i Khirad, Sikand-gumanik Vigar, and the Sad Dar. The translations of these manuscripts provide further historical and social context to Zoroastrianism and its relationship with other contemporary faiths, from lay and clerical perspectives.
