page 93 note 1 There is also the unpublished Ph.D. thesis of M. J. Fischer, ‘Zoroastrian Iran between Myth and Praxis’, Chicago, 1973Google Scholar, though this is a sociological study concerned more with the urban Zoroastrians of Tehran. It understandably lacks the historical and theological insights into Zoroastrianism which are two of the great strengths of Boyce's book.
