About the author
Mary Boyce
32 books30 followersBOYCE, Nora Elizabeth Mary, was a British scholar of Zoroastrianism and its relevant languages, and Professor of Iranian Studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) of the University of London.
She was born in Darjeeling where her parents were vacationing to escape the heat of the plains during the summer. Her father, William H. Boyce, was a Judge at the Calcutta high-court, then an institution of the British imperial government. Her mother Nora (née Gardiner) was a granddaughter of the historian Samuel Rawson Gardiner.
Boyce was educated at Wimbledon High School and then Cheltenham Ladies' College. At the University of Cambridge's Newnham College, she studied English, archaeology and anthropology, graduating with a double first.
In 1944, Boyce joined the faculty of the Royal Holloway College, University of London, where she taught Anglo-Saxon literature and archaeology until 1946. Simultaneously she continued her studies, this time in Persian languages, under the guidance of Vladimir Minorsky at the School of Oriental and African Studies from 1945 to 1947. There she met her future mentor, Walter Bruno Henning, under whose tutelage she began to study Middle Iranian languages.
In 1948, Boyce was appointed lecturer of Iranian Studies at SOAS, specialising in Manichaean, Zoroastrian Middle Persian and Parthian texts. In 1952, she was awarded a doctorate in Oriental Studies from the University of Cambridge. At SOAS, she was promoted to Reader (1958–1961) and subsequently awarded the University of London's professorship in Iranian Studies following Henning's transfer to the University of California at Berkeley.
Boyce remained a professor at SOAS until her retirement in 1982, continuing as Professor Emerita and a professorial research associate until her death in 2006. Her speciality remained the religions of speakers of Eastern Iranian languages, in particular, Manichaeanism and Zoroastrianism.

February 18, 2021بویس از تفاوت های بین آیین های پارسیان هند و زرتشتیان ایران صحبتی نکرده. اطلاعاتی که در کتاب قید شده در مورد آیین ها و مراسم و ... چندان هم درست نیستن و بسیار باگ دارن
مفیدترین بخش کتاب به نظرم نظریاتیه که در اول کتاب درباره ی مبدا تاریخ زرتشت و محل زندگی احتمالیش میده. محاسبات و مقایساتش از خیلی از منابع مفیدتر و محتمل تره.
نظریاتش در مورد کیش زروان که کاملا رد شده ست و در تعارض با خیلی نظریات دیگه مثل زنر قرار داره
ترجمه عالی نبود اما از ترجمه ی دیگه ی این کتاب خیلی روان تر و فصیح تر بود. در نوشتن اسامی آیینی مترجم به هیچ کدوم از کتابهای مرجع نگاهی نکرده انگار و سرخود املایی برای واژگان ذکر کرده که خیلی جاها صحیح و منطبق با املای پذیرفته شده نیست
