Here you find the complete text of the Yasna i Rapihwin, Wīsperad, Wīdēwdād and Wištāsp Yašt ceremonies. The text is based in the transliteration made for TITUS (http://titus.uni-frankfurt.de) and does not intend to be an edition of the text, but just a guide for the collaborators of the ADA project when indexing manuscripts and for other users when using ADA. Despite their provisonal character and despite of being intended just as as tool for the work in ADA, it is the first time that the complete text of different ceremonies including different version is put together as it appears in the mansucripts. The arrangement of the ceremonies has been been worked out by A. Cantera, but this work would have been impossible without the indexing activity of all collaborators of ADA. Please, if you use these texts for other aims than the usage of ADA quote the authorship conviniently.
