I'm looking to learn more about religious practice in Persia between the Islamic conquest and the Mongols (roughly 632-1218), with emphasis on the interactions between Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, and Zoroastrians. I want the kind of book that talks about home as well as public observance: names, burial practices, that sort of thing. Any suggestions?

No clue. But I'd love to hear about it if you find it.

I just got amazed by the history of Zoroastrianism several months ago (still totally ignorant, mind you) and want to know more.

I've been thinking about this since I saw your comment on librarything, but I'm pretty sure this book does not exist. But if you find out that it does, I'd love to know about it...In general, it's a period about which not much has been written (which is one of the many reasons I hope to work on it!)

Oh, it doesn't have to be a whole book (although that would be convenient), but as an amateur scholar I don't even know where to begin to look. Any pointers toward books with informative chapters or journals with likely articles would be greatly appreciated.
