gathas

Gathas

The Gathas, as part of Avesta, the Holy Scriptures of Zoroastrianism, the doctrine of the Iranian religious founder Zarathustra, refer to the five oldest anthems of the work, which are regarded as the person of Zarathustra, and as such linguistic and contentual Parts of the text. They also form part of Yasna, the first book of Avesta. The word "Gatha" means "anthem" or "singing" in Avestic and can be traced back to the tribe "Gâ". In Middle and Neo-German, this word appears as Gāh, in the plural as Gāhān, and also means "time" and "place". The word Gāh also occurs in Iranian music, where it is used as a suffix in various terms, such as the Dastgahs "Sehgāh" and "Čahārgāh". The Gathas are made up of 17 hymns, forming sections 28-34, 43-46, 47-50, 51 and 53 of Yasnas. Die Gathas bezeichnen als Teil des Avesta, der heiligen Schrift des Zoroastrismus, der Lehre des iranischen Religionsstifters Zarathustra, die fünf ältesten Hymnen des Werkes, die als der Person Zarathustras entstammende Abschnitte gelten und als solche sich in sprachwissenschaftlicher und inhaltlicher Hinsicht von den anderen, jüngeren Teilen des Textes unterscheiden. Sie bilden zugleich einen Teil des Yasna, des ersten Buches des Avesta. Das Wort „Gatha“ bedeutet im Avestischen „Hymne“ oder „Gesang“ und lässt sich auf den Stamm „Gâ“ zurückführen. Im Mittel- und im Neupersischen erscheint dieses Wort als Gāh, im Plural als Gāhān, und bedeutet auch „Zeit“ und „Ort“. Das Wort Gāh begegnet uns ebenso in der iranischen Musik, wo es als Nachsilbe in verschiedenen Termini Anwendung findet, so in den Dastgahs „Sehgāh“ und „Čahārgāh“. Die Gathas bestehen insgesamt aus 17 Hymnen und bilden die Abschnitte 28-34, 43-46, 47-50, 51 und 53 des Yasnas.
