Middle Persian Dictionary Project
About This Project
The Middle Persian Dictionary Project (MPDP), edited mainly by Shaul Shaked, Emeritus Professor at the Department of Comparative Religions at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, is a research tool for all varieties and genres of Zoroastrian Middle Persian.
The scope of the texts to be included is all varieties and genres of Zoroastrian Middle Persian; all the available Middle Persian inscriptions; all the texts in Manichaean Middle Persian; a selection of texts in Pazand; a small selection of words, chiefly of religious content, in Zoroastrian New Persian, to be quoted with the appropriate Middle Persian forms.
