References

1. The text of the greater (Persian) Bundahišn is based on the three mss. usually referred to as TD1, TD2, and DH. All of them are written in Persian. The first is dated ca. 1531; the second, 1606; and the third, 1577. The shorter (Indian) Bundahišn is based on a single ms., referred to as K20, written in India in 1351. This ms. is imperfect and confused.
