The present article offers a critical edition of the so-called Sogdian Hymn to the Wind-God, with transliteration, transcription and English translation. This remarkable Spgdian religious source has been preserved in a very famous magical handbook, the first part of which is attested in the manuscript P3 of Paris National Library, while the second one belongs to a long fragment of the British Library. The present work enters a number of critical problems connected with the religious, exegetical, linguistic and philological problems of this text, and in particular with its very presumable Mazdean background.
