The Dēnkard is one of the most voluminous Zoroastrian Book Pahlavī literature, edited by Zoroastrian high priests, Ādurfarrōbay-ī Farroxzādān and Adurbād-ī Ēmēdān in the 9^<th> and 10^<th> centuries. Here presented is an annotated transcription and Japanese translation of its third volume, which consists of 420 polemics against bad religions-Manichaeism, Judaism and Islam. Our process of preparing this translation can be divided into two steps. 1. The late Prof. Gikyō ITŌ made a Pahlavī letters' transcription and its Japanese translation preciously corresponding to Madan's Dēnkard edition. Unfortunately, however, he passed away before completion this work. 2. After Gikyō ITŌ's death, Takeshi AOKI made his work up-to-date, and added ① linguistic commentaries on Pahlavī letters' transcription and ② religious commentaries on Japanese translation. This time we can print only the 10^<th> chapter to the 26^<th> chapter, but we hope publishing serially the whole transcription and translation of the Dēnkard Book III in this Memoirs.
