Corpus Avesticum Berolinense

The CAB project (Corpus Avesticum Berolinense), carried out at the Institute of Iranian Studies of the Freie Universität Berlin, represents the first attempt to edit the entire Avestan Zoroastrian textual corpus within its ritual context, and to produce and offer both printed and digital editions of the texts.

Besides the edition, the project will provide even the non-specialist readers with tools for an assisted reading of the Avestan texts, including translations, grammatical and semantic analysis of words, etc. Amongst these tools, the project will offer a digital version of the standard dictionary of the Avestan language (Bartholomae’s Altiranisches Wörterbuch).
