Zurvan? (grace, translation, bless, grace, islam)

[Comet]

If anybody has any information as to where I can get more understanding of Zurvanism (Zervanism), please let me know. Also, I am looking for a copy or site to find the Ulama-yi Islam- translated into English (or French). I don't think anybody is on the Zoroastrianism site here..... so few survive and would not recollect Zurvanism in a positive way. Any help is appreciated though, thanks.

I just did a Google search and tons of sites showed up. I can't vouch for the usefulness of any of them, but they're out there.

I think wiki has an article too.

Thank you! I do appreciate that, but the book that site is taken from sits next to my computer along with a copy of the Avesta close by. It is very hard to seek the information I require in my study of Zoroastrianism and Zurvanism. I have come to find most do not know of what I speak, and even fewer can help me in this search. Thank you though- and may the light of wisdom bless you for looking into it!!! And may the light of grace bless you for doing so on another's behalf!!

Good luck to you. I know how difficult it is to find info on Zoroastrianism. I was lucky enough to find an old English translation of some texts in mouldering in the basement of a library back in the early 70s. Would that the library would have sold me that text. I'm sure they eventually tossed it out since it wasn't being circulated. Oh well, at least I got to read it once.
