Notes
This story describes the righteous Arda Vitaz visit the world of the dead, returning with an account of the rewards and punishments in store.Red Vermilion dominates this manuscript. An organic, red, insect dye has also been used to add detail. The illustrations portray Arda Viraf’s visit to the afterlife and what he learns there – that Zoroastrianism is the only true religion.
