How to select a passage

Firstly you have to select the Work (Videvdad, Yasna, Visperad, etc. -if available, it is also possible to see the colophon-), the Book and the Paragraph you are looking for.

After having selected passage, on the left side you will find a list of the manuscripts containing this text (the Results list).

Just click on the name of the manuscripts and it will be shown the page of the manuscript where is contained the selected text. For example, if you are looking for Y 10.6, after having selected this passage, the available manuscripts containing it will appear on the left. For instance, you can take a look to Y 10.6 in B2. Thus, on the top it will be indicated the name of the manuscript (B2 in this case), to which library it belongs (BUL, i.e., Bombay University Library) and the number of the page (15 recto).
