Mariano Errichiello discusses his new book on Ilme Kṣnum, an esoteric interpretation of Zoroastrianism developed by Behramshah Naoroji Shroff (1858–1927) in colonial India. Drawing on Gujarati sources, he shows how Parsis used Persianate intellectual traditions and scientific vocabularies to interpret their religion, and introduces the idea of ‘hermeneutical polyphony’. Free and open to the public.
