This volume is an offshoot of a Research Workshop sponsored by the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London and Liverpool Hope University in July 2006. As the editors state in the preface, "the book provides an interdisciplinary series of snapshots through Parsi history; it spans five centuries of history, from a study of the iconic 'foundation text' the Qesse-ye Sanjan, and a report on the first excavations carried out at the port of Sanjan; it follows through with ten more studies down to the twenty-first century in India and the diaspora" (p. ix). The articles by an international group of scholars are diverse in scope and are divided into three parts.
