Best Answer

The religious texts of the Zoroastrian (Parsis) are

The Avesta collection of the sacred texts, these are complemented by several secondary works of religious or semi-religious nature, which although not sacred and not used as scripture, have a significant influence on Zoroastrian doctrine.

The Avesta texts are very old and the compendium as we know it today is essentially the result of a redaction that is thought to have occurred during the reign of Shapur II (309-379 CE). However, some portions of the collection have been lost since then, especially after the fall of the Sassanid empire in 651 CE. The oldest existing copy of an Avestan language text dates to 1288 CE.
