For the first time, this work treats in a comprehensive manner the Ran Yat, or Hymn to Justice. The Ran Yat stands in praise of the Zoroastrian deity Ranu Justice and belongs to the group of religious texts known as the Avesta a collection of compositions in the ancient Iranian language of Avestan. Although the Ran Yat, like all of the Avesta, is generally assumed to have been committed to writing either during or shortly after the Sasanian era (224-651 CE.), its verses were probably composed during the early first millennium BCE. The present monograph contains an English translation of the Ran Yat supported by a critical edition of the Avestan text. The latter is based on the testimony of thirteen manuscripts, of which nine were newly collated. Variant readings from the manuscripts are recorded in a detailed and easy to read apparatus. Matters of a philological or text critical nature are taken up for discussion in an accompanying commentary and all forms appearing in the Ran Yat are parsed in the texts glossary. In addition, this book includes three introductory chapters that aim to elucidate the key themes of the Ran Yat. The first chapter concerns the titular divinity Ranu and explores his role as a judicial figure, both in this world and the hereafter. The second chapter explicates the cosmographic scheme which is uniquely preserved in the Hymn to Justice and argues this map of the universe encodes numerical and spatial patterns. The third chapter draws upon Avestan and Middle Persian sources to give an in depth account of the use of ordeal rituals in ancient Iran a practice with which Ranu is intimately associated and which is repeatedly mentioned in the Ran Yat. This work is intended for specialist and more general audiences alike, and is principally aimed at those with interests in Indo-Iranian philology, Zoroastrianism, ancient Iran and comparative religion.
