------------------------ The Manuscript copies of the Avesta are between 1900 - 2300 years removed from the dates that are attributed to them with no other copies, commentaries or citations from other historical manuscripts. The Younger Avestan portions are at least 1900 years removed from the d
ate of the Bablonian Captivity of the Jews, and the Older Avestan portions are at least 2300 years removed from a generally accepted date of 1000 BCE, when Zarathustra is believed to have lived. ------------------------ The earliest Manuscript copy of part of the Avesta can be dated to the middle
of the 13th century of the common era (1300 CE). After that date other codices appeared. http://www.farvardyn.com/avesta4.php The oldest known copy of Zoroastrian or Avestan works is the Videvdad, or Vendidad. It was copied in 1323 CE in Nawsari, Gujarat, by the scribe Mihraban Kaykhusraw. http

. 226-241 CE) commanded his high priest Tonsar (or Tansar) to compile the theological texts." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avesta The 10th century (1000 CE) is the last historical reference to a gathering of the texts together. "The Avesta, also known as the Holy Book or the Prayer Book of the Zo
roastrians, was referenced historically as committed to writing in the mid-first millennium CE (Common Era)**note(1000 CE)**. Before this time it had been transmitted orally from one generation to the next." http://www3.sympatico.ca/zoroastrian/Avesta.htm "Nevertheless much of the collection (Aves
ta) survived as late as the 10th century CE" http://www.zoroastrian.org/articles/Avesta_An_Introduction.htm See Denkard in Wikipedia (It is a 10th century compendium) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denkard ------------------------
