The need for even a short Pahlavi-English dictionary has been obvious for many years, particularly to would-be students of the language. The present dictionary, admittedly introducing yet another transcription, is intended first to relieve the stranger to Pahlavi of the necessity of covering what is now well-travelled ground-the commonest 4,000 simple words- without a unified map, and secondly to urge the practical value of this ‘Sasanian' transcription for his journeying further. To have included etymologies and textual references would have changed the emphasis of the work, turning it from a map to a historical atlas-cuin-gazetteer, besides retarding its appearance unduly. Such a complete dictionary of Pahlavi is nowhere within sight and must remain so until many more texts are adequately edited.
