Correspondence between Edward William West and Darab Dastur Peshotan Sanjana, Tehmuras Dinshaji Anklesaria, and A.F. Rudolf Hoernle.

Letter from Tehmuras Dinshaji Anklesaria to Edward William West in which Tehmuras addresses some questions and thoughts he has about the collation of a copy of the Bundehesh he encountered in Persia. With the letter are several transcriptions:

• "Backside of the leaf 178 of the MS. Of Dastur Jamasjee Lines 16 - 21,"in which is inserted "Kolophon on DS. fol. 354 (N.2 on accompanying paper)"
• "No. 4 Leaf 190 of the MS. of Dastur G."
• "Duplicate cancelled", p.81-84
• Part of the "DS MS. with which T.D. is collated"

Proofs from Tehmuras Dinshaji Anklesaria's Dātistān-ī-Dīnīk - Pūrsishn I - XXXVII. Blue-green patterned soft cover, bound book with handwritten annotations and some handwritten inserts. On inside of the cover is written "Pahlavi text, The Datistan-i Dinik - partially corrected by E.W. West". The text was finally published by Anklesaria's son in 1910.

The Papers of Edward William West reflect his interest in Pahlavi language and Zoroastrianism. The majority are handwritten notebooks and other manuscripts in which he did his work. These often have many inserts. There are also loose handwritten notes, some correspondence and some printed material.

Printed material both authored by West and collated by him.
