The "Bundahishn" survives in two recensions. A shorter was found in India, and is thus known as the "Lesser Bundahishn", or "Indian Bundahishn". A copy of this version was brought to Europe by Abraham Anquetil-Duperron in 1762. A longer version was brought to India from Iran by T.D. Anklesaria around 1870, and is thus known as the "Greater Bundahishn" or "Iranian Bundahishn" or just "Bundahishn". The greater recension (the name of which is abbreviated "GBd" or just "Bd") is about twice as long as the lesser (abbreviated "IBd").
