Iranisches Namenbuch (Marburg, 1895) by Ferdinand Justi (1837-1907) contains some 4,500 names and 9,500 different individuals mentioned in Iranian-language sources (Avestan, Middle and New Persian, etc.) from the oldest Avestan texts up to Justi's day. It also lists names recorded since the 9th-century B.C. in the literary, epigraphical, numismatic, and other traditions of peoples that Iranians came into contact with or which mention Iranian names (including in languages such as Assyrian, Hebrew, Greek, Syriac, Armenian, Georgian). The entries provide extensive documentation, transforming this work into an historical onomasticon. Justi's meticulous scholarship makes his writings invaluable more than 100 years after his death. 571 pdf pages. Book digitized by Google and uploaded by Robert Bedrosian.
