Text

David Neil MacKenzie (1926–2001), often known as Neil MacKenzie, studied Iranian languages including Middle Persian, Kurdish, Pashto and Sogdian. He worked on dictionaries, inscriptions and texts and wrote the Encyclopaedia Iranica entry on the Bundahishn, its manuscripts and compilation. This research helps distinguish a text’s redaction history from the age of materials its editors reused. [1]
