Select Bābī-Bahā’ī and other writers on the person and religion of the Bāb. For western language sources see the similarly organized Pt. II :

https://hurqalya.ucmerced.edu/node/419/

^{Fereydun Vahman (ed.), Bab va Jāmi`ah-‘ Bābī –i Īrān (The Bab and the Babi Community of Iran. A Memorial Volume for the Occasion of the Bi-centenary of the Bab’s birth, 1819-2019). Baran Publishers, Sweden, 2020 (in Persian + English language version Oxford: Oneworld 2020 - see below Vahman).}

There exists a massive amount of writing in unpublished manuscripts and in print as well as diverse archival material, about the Bab, his followers and his religion. The bibliographical data pertaining to it is immense, even in western sources. It includes traveller, orientalist, missionary, diplomatic, academic sources and other categories of writing in manuscript and published form as books, papers and articles. Bābī-Bahā’ī generated materials relating to the history and theology of the Bāb and his followers and writings, cannot be comprehensively set forth in detail here. At present there seems to be no adequate survey of Baha’i perspectives about the Bāb and his writings as set forth by either the central figures of the Bahā’ī religion - Bahā’-Allāh (d. Acre 1892), `Abd al-Bahā’ (d. Haifa, 1921) and Shoghi Effendi (d. London, 1957) - or by 19th-21st century academics or Bahā’ī scholars and apologists living in Iran, the Middle East and elsewhere. The primarary scriptural writings of the central figures of the Baha'i religion will only very selectively be listed below; they figure in other bibliographies on this website.

I shall include in the entries below, select authors who wrote on the Babi and Baha'i or Babi-Baha'i religions with precedence given to authors of books and papers dealing mostly directly with the Bab and his religion. Many writers on Baha'i matters include materials about the Bab and his teachings since he came to be considered the "founder" of the [Babi-] Baha'i religion as expounded by its Guardian (vali-yi amr Allah) Shoghi Effendi Rabbani. Succinct biographical details will occasionally be spelled out below regarding authors of Babi-Baha'i materials as well as occasional images and/or data associated with such writers whatever their background or religious orientation.

Part II of this bibliography will list select sources pertaining to major disciples of the Bab and episodes with early Babi History. A few western language bibliographical materials will be listed below as a number of them contain impotant Persian or Arabic primary and / or secondary sources. Mss and printed volumes of Babi-Baha'i history will also be listed below in this Part I as many of these writings contain important pre-Baha'i biographical and historical data pertaining to the Bab and his religion and followers. A comprehensive carrying out of this bibliographical task would include some consideration of the writings of such leading followers of the Bāb as Mulla Muhammad Husayn Bushru'i (b. c. 1229/1813, Bushrū'ī / Boshrūyaʾī - d. 2 February 1849, Tabarsi, 1265/1849); Muhammad `Alī, Quddūs (d. Bārfurush, 1265/1849), Fāṭimah Baraghānī, Tāhirah (d. Tehran, 1268/1852) and (among many others), Sayyid Yaḥyā Dārābī, Waḥīd (d. Nayriz, 1266/1850). Bibliography pertaining to such major Babi figures and disciples will again be very selectively listed in this second bibliographical section below ( and in Bib. II for western languages) as will a few episodes within Babi history (I.II>).

A further bibliographical division (III) will include books and articles pertaining to Mirza Yaḥyā Nurī (d. Famagusta, Cyprus, 1914), the half-brother of Bahā’-Allāh, a follower of the Bab from around fourteen years of age and for some the successor to the Bāb. It will include often polemical Azali Babi Baha'i debate as contained or reflected in diverse books, articles and other source materials.

Among Bahā’ī writers who wrote about the Bāb and his writings one should consult the often prolific literary output of (to be selective) Mirza Abū al-Faḍl Gulpayiganī (d. Cairo, 1914); Muhammad Kázim Qazvíní, Samandar (d. 1918); Ḥajjī Mīrzā Haydar `Alī Iṣfahānī (d. Haifa, 1920); Hippolyte Dreyfus-Barney (d. Paris, 1928); Mirza Asadu’llah, Fāḍil-i Mazandarānī (d. Khurramshahr, 1957); Mīrzā Ḥabīb-Allāh Afnān (d. 1951); ʿAzīz-Allāh Sulaymānī Ardakāni (b. Kelateh Yazd-Abad near Sabzivah, 1901-d. Gunbad-Kavus, Mazandaran, 1985); Muhammad `Alī Fayḍī (d. 1957); `Abd al-Ḥamid Ishraq Khavarī (d. Tehran, 1972); Malik-Khusraví, Muhammad ‘Alí (b. Tehran, 1901-d. Australia, 1982); Hasan M. Balyuzi (d. London, 1980); Alessandro Bausani (d. Rome, 1988); Amin Banani (b. Tehran, 1926 d. 2013); Firuz Kazemzadih (d. California, 2017); Abu’l-Qasim Afnan (d. England, UK. 2004); Muhammad Afnan (d. Canada, 2017); Kamran Ekbal (d. 2014); Denis MacEoin; Vahid Rafati; Abbas Amanat; Moojan Momen; Ruhu'llah Mehrabkhani; Fereydun Vahman; Peter Smith; Sholeh Quinn; Todd Lawson; Stephen N. Lambden; Juan R. Cole; John Walbridge; Ahang Rabbani (d. 2013); Nosratollah Mohammad Hosseini; Mina Yazdani; Fariduddin Radmehr; Firūz Barāqī; Hooshmand Dehqan; Armin Eschraqhi; Youli A. Ioannesyan; Christopher Buck; Peter Terry; Necati Alkan; Nader Saiedi and Omid Ghaemmaghami.

Several of these abovementioned writers of earlier generations on matters Babi-Baha'i, have entries devoted to them in the now well-known and ongoing Encyclopedia Iranica (ed. Yarshater et al.) as well as in other reference volumes, books, articles and elecronic or internet sources.

Thousands of passages within the writings of Mirza Husayn `Ali Nuri, Baha'-Allah (b. Tehran, 1817 - d. Acre, 1892) interpret the writings of the Bab. Many have a bearing upon aspects of Babi-Baha'i history, its proponents, martyrs and scholars as well as the antagonistic position of post mid. 1860s Azali Babi adherents. These texts and issues cannot possibly all be detailed here. It must suffice to register only a few especially Bab / Babi related writings of Baha'u'llah followed by select writings of subsequent Baha'i leaders, his son `Abdu'l-Baha `Abbas and his grandson Shoghi Effendi Rabbani.

Mirza Husayn `Ali Nuri, Baha'-Allah (d. Acre, 1892).

The Lawḥ-i kull al-ṭa`ām ("The Tablet of All Food") is an early Baghdad period (1270/1853 or early 1854) esoteric scriptural Tablet expository of Qur'an 3:87 [93] and incorporating issues of Babi authority and religiosity. It is addressed to the Babi believer Ḥajjī Mīrzā Kamāl al-Dīn Narāqī (d. Narāq c.1298/1881). An inadequate printed text is found in Ishrāq Khavari (comp.) Mā'ida-yi āsmani IV :265-276 and a slightly better one in Rahiq-i makhtum II :416-426. A superior photocopied ms. is to be found in INBMC 36:268-277.
Sūrat al-kifāya ("The Surah of the Sufficiency), c. 1853-5. For the ḥarf al-jūd ("the Letter of the Divine Bounty) whose precise identity (a Babi entitled Jawad?) is uncertain. This Arabic Surah begins: "This is the Sūrat al-kifāya (Sura of the Sufficiency). It was assuredly sent down on the part of the True One (min al-ḥaqq) regarding the question of knowledge (fī jawāb al-`ilm)." It is apparently a defense of the early-mid. 1850s leadership role and Bābī authority of Mīrzā Yaḥyā Nūrī (c. 1834 - Cyprus,1912). The Arabic text of the Surat al-kifaya can be found in INBMC 36: 277-28. An annotated Lambden translation exists on this website. For more than a decade Baha'u'llah acted as a defender of the status of Mirza Yahya Nuri.
Jawahir al-asrār ("The Gems of the Mysteries", Arabic c. 1861-2). There are several mss texts and printings of the original Arabic of this treatise written in reply to questions raised by Sayyid Yūsuf Sidihi (Isfahanī), a Shī`ī mujtahid and pupil of the Marjā al-Taqlīd, Shaykh Murtaḍā al-Anṣārī (1759-1864). See Jawāhir al-asrār in AQA III:4-88; INBMC 46:1ff and INBMC 99. An recent authorized Baha'i translation is well known.
Kitāb-i īqān ("The Book of Certitude", Persian, c. 1862). There are again several mss texts and printings of the original Persian and a well-known authorized English translation by Shoghi Effendi. It was written in reply to the questions of an uncle, the Khāl-i Akbar ("Greatest Uncle") of the Bab Ḥāǰǰī Sayyid Muhammad, (1210-93/1795-1876) in demonstration of the veracity of the prophetic mission of the Bab. Refer Kitāb-i īqān, Hofheim-Langenhain: Bahā'ī-Verlag, 1980/ 136 BE (= rep. of the K. īqān, Egypt, 1934); Kitáb-i-Iqán: The Book of Certitude (tr. Shoghi Effendi). London: BPT.,1961 (See further, Quinn and Lambden. K.iqan in EIr.).
Surat al-Dhikr , `The Surah of the Remembrance', an Arabic early Edirne or Adrianople period text, dating to the early-mid 1860s. It claims to be "a Book from the nuqtat al-ulya, the Primal Point", though from Baha'u'llah in the persona of the Bab addressed to his followers, the "people of the Bayan". Arabic text in Athar-i alam-i a`la [AQA] IV: 236-244.
Lawh al-Nuqta (The Tablet of the Point). c. 1865-6? This fairly brief, largely Persian scriptural Tablet, opens with a Baha'/ Baha'u'llah centered basmala and continues. "This is a Book from the Primordial Point (nuqtat al-ula) and His Baha' (Glory)". It is dedicated and addressed to a Babi-Baha'i believer named Kazim (Samandar?) and (among other things) cites and interprets a few verses of the Qayyum al-asma' of the Bab. The position of Baha'u'llah as the promised one of the Bayan is celebrated and proclaimed (Haifa unpublished ms. AO 1760, received Feb. 1987).
Lawh-i Mubāhalah (The Tablet(s) of the Mutual Execration). Several Tablets of Baha'-Allah have this title (cf. Qur'an 59: 61f) and date to the mid. to late 1860s. In various ways they address and challenge the claims of Mirza Yahya Nuri and his associates. They cement a division between Baha'is and Azali Babis through a planned (though never outwardly finalized) personal and theological confrontation between Baha'u'llah and Mirza Yahya, Subh-i Azal, at the mosque of Sultan Selim in Adrianople. One seminal `Lawh-i Mubahalah' dates to Jumad al-awwal 1284/Sept. 1867. It presents itself as a letter / book (kitab) from "this Youth" (Baha'u'llah) to all of the "peoples of the world" (cited Mazandarani, TZH 5: 39-46 unpublished ms.).
Lawh-i Nasir (The Tablet to Nasir). This Arabic and Persian scriptural Tablet was written around 1866-7 after the Azali-Baha'i `Most Great Separation' from Mirza Yahya and his followers. It is a reply to a question of Hajji Muhammad Nasir Qazvini (d. Rasht, 1300/1883) about the position of Mirza Yahya Nuri who had challenged the claimed theophanic claims of Baha'u'llah. Therein Baha'u'llah maintains that "The origins [genesis] of this [Babi-Baha'i] Cause (amr) were concealed (mastur) from all. No one was adequately aware thereof save two souls; one of these two being named Ahmad who suffered the martyrdom in the path of his Lord and returned unto the ultimate abode (muqarr al-quswa), while the other was he who was named [Mirza Musa Nuri] al-Kalim "the Speaker" ("He who [like Moses] conversed", with God) who at this moment can be found in our presence" (Majmu`a-yi Alwah-i Mubaraka, 174)". The largely Persian text of the Lawh-i Nasir can be found in MAM (Cairo : 1333/1920. Rep. 1978: 166-202).
The Kitāb-i badi` (The Novel / Regenerative/ Wondrous Book"), c. 1283/1866-7. One of the lengthiest (300 + pages) Persian, anti-Azali Babi works of Baha'u'llah written as if by the Baha'i Aqa Muhamad `Ali Tambak-Furush (Tobacco Seller) to Mirza Mihdi Gilani and penned by his amaneunsis Mirza Aqa Jan Kashani, Khadim-Allāh (`The Servant of God'). This lengthy apologia responds to and comments upon issues and accusations raised in an anti-Baha'u'llah letter of the Babi Mirza Mihdi Gilani, an associate of Sayyid Muhamad Isfahani whom Baha'is reckon (among others) the eschatological Dajjal or Islamic Anti-Christ. Diverse issues of Babi thelogy and prophecy are found in this scriptural writing along with copious citations from diverse writings of th Bab. For the text see : Kitāb-i badī`nazil az sama'-i mashiyyat Hadrat-i Baha'-Allah. Printed from a facsimile edition/ copy of ms. in the hand of Zayn al-Muqarrabin [dated 13th of Rabi` al-Awwal, 1286 = 23rd June, 1869]. Reprint, Prague: Zero Palm Press, 148 BE/1992 and Kitab-i badi` nazil az qalam-i hadrat-i Baha'u'llah. Mu'assah-' Matbú'át-i Amrí Almān. Hofheim-Langenheim : Bahāʼī-Verlag, 165 BE/2008. 200pp. + Index, 201-213 + 8pp. 1st. German printing of the Persian primarily based on a ms. in the hand of Zayn al-Muqarrabin (d.1903).
Lawh-i Sarrāj for Mullā / Mirza `Alī Muhammad Sarrāj [incorrectly, Sirāj]. c. 1283-4/ c. 1867, the late Edirne (Adrianople) period. Thie Sarrāj or "the Saddler", "Leather-worker" had met the Bab during his stay in Isfahan (1846-7) and subsequently became a Babi then later an Azali Babi follower of Mirza Yahya. He was the brother of Mullā Rajab `Alī ( d. [assassinated at] Karbala 185?) entitled Qahīr ("Wrathful" -- Rajab `Alī = abjad 315 as also is Qahīr) by the Bāb. His sister Fātimah Khānum (d.1335/1916) was the second wife of the Bab. A lengthy Persian work of anti-Azali Babi dialogue, the Lawḥ-i Sarrāj is a response to various questions relating especially to the titles, position or status of Mīrzā Yaḥyā, about how ḥurūf-i `aliyyīn ("elevated [sublime] letters [souls]") can become the ḥurūf-i sijjīn ("debased letters [souls]"). For the text of the Lawḥ-i Sarrāj, the Tablet to `Alī Muhammad Sarrāj, see Ms. in INBMC 73:198-231 and Ishraq Khavari comp., Ma'ida-yi asmani VII : 4-118.

`Abdu’l-Bahā’ `Abbās (1844-1921).

The Letters or `scriptural Tablets' of `Abdu'l-Baha' `Abbas (d. Haifa, 1921), the son and successor of Baha'-Allah, are numerous, numbering perhaps 30,000. Many of them refer to the Bab or interpret matters pertaining to Babi-Baha'i history and doctrine. Only a few historical and other works can be mentioned at this point along with a few works of his grandson Shoghi Effendi (see below):

Shoghi Effendi Rabbani / Shawqī Afandī Rabbānī (c. Haifa, 1896-d. London. Nov. 4th 1957).

As the Vali-yi Amr Allah (Ar. Wali Amr Allah), the `Guardian of the Cause of God', Shoghi Effendi was a prolific writer in Persian, Arabic and English.

Āyati, ʻAbd al-Ḥusayn ( ‏آواره ، عبد الحسين ) (b. 1288/1871 - d. 1332 Sh./1953), called himself by the takhallus (`pen-name') Āvārah ("Wanderer").

Mīrzā ʻAbd al-Ḥusayn Āwārah was the son of Mulla Muhammad-Taqī, Ākhūnd Taftī. He became a widely travelled Baha'i teacher for almost two decades during which time he closely associated with `Abdul-Baha' who highly praised his important Babi-Baha'i history in two volumes, the al-Kawākib al-durriyya. This came to be translated into Persian and was several times reprinted. Āvārah ultimately turned against `Abdu'l-Baha' and wrote a three volume refutation of the Babi-Bahaʾi religion entitled Kashf al-ḥiyal ("The Uncovering of Deception") which was published in Tehran during 1307-10 Sh./1928-31 and reprinted a number of times (see below).

Tarīkh al-Bāb wa'l-Bābiyya ("The History of the Bab and the Babi religion"). A version of this historical text was commissioned by Yaqʿūb Ṣarrūf, the editor of the Egyptian magazine المقتطف Al-Muqtaṭaf ("The Digest"; Published in Beirut and Cairo), after the assassination of Nasir al-Din Shah in 1896.

An unfinished Persian work completed by Sayyid Mahdĩ Gulpaygānī and others. In the printed edition only 132 of 438 pages seem to have been written by Gulpayigani himself. It is in part a responce to E. G. Browne's publication in 1910 of the Kitāb-i Nuqtat al-Kāf which he attributed to the Babi Hajji Mirza Jānī Kāshāni. This latter work of Gulpaygāni and others was viewed unfavourably as an Azali Babi corruption by `Abd al-Bahā' who ultimately advised its removal. Several copies, however, survived. The printed edition contains some important works of the Bab and of such Babis as Tahira, Qurrat al-`Ayn. For some details see Balyuzi, EGB and the Baha'i Faith, 1970 index; MacEoin, Sources, 136-139.

Lisān-al-Mulk, Sipihr (`Celestial Sphere'), Kāshānī, Mirza Muhammad Tāqī ( b. Kashan, 1216 or 1217/1801-2 - d. 1297/ 1880). Siphir's ناسخ التوارىخ Nāsikh al-tawārīkh (The Supplanter of Histories) was a major, very influential, though defective source for the life and teachings of the Bab and aspects of Babi history such as the Babi upheavals and the lives of certain of his major disciples including Tahira, Qurrat al-`Ayn. It began to be printed in lithograph editions from about 1273-6 and during later 1270s then 1280s AH, from c. 1858 through into the 1860s and beyond. These19th century lithograph printings of the Nāsikh include Tehran 1860; 1888-9; early 1890s as well as editions in Bombay, 1892, etc. (Storey. 1:152f, 1247; Minorsky, `Sipihr’ EI²IX:658). The Nāsikh al-tawārīkh was known amongst Bābī-Bahā’ī leaders and writers; in part because their updated supplements contain often inaccurate and critical accounts of Bābī beginnings and historical episodes. In an unpublished letter of `Abd al-Baha' to Lotfullah Ḥakīm, the Nāsīkh al-tawārīkh is strongly criticized.

TAHIRAH, QURRAT AL-`AYN

Ṭāhira (The Pure One), Qurrat al-`Ayn (Solace of the Eyes), Fāṭima Baraghānī (b. Qazvin c. 1817 - d. Tehran 1852).

A Shaykhī sage, poetess and Bābī Martyr of great importance in the evolution and development of the religion of the Bab. Some of her poems and writings have been published though many remain in ms. She was the eldest daughter of Mullā Muhammad Ṣāliḥ al-Baraghānī [al-Qazvini] and Amina (1202-1268 AH = 1787-1851 CE). A Shi`i-Shaykhi and ultimately Bābī apologist and martyr, this revolutionary Babi woman is today internationally famous. Before coming to faith in the Bab (1819- 1850) in 1260/1844, she (like other members of her family) was a very learned and accomplished adherent of the Shi`i-Shaykhi school whose founding master Shaykh Ahmad ibn Zayn al-Din al-Ahsa'i (d. near Medina, 1241/1826) and (after 1826) and his successor, Sayyid Kazim al-Husayni al-Rashti (d. Karbala, 1259/1843) whom she greatly admired. By the 21st century there have come to exist perhaps forty to fifty or more books and papers about Tahira several of which have recently been published. Her numerous poems and prose writings in Persian and Arabic await adequte editions, studies and translations. The now numerous books and articles about Tahira often contain details about the religion and teachings of the Bab. Much of her poetry, treatises and letters, etc., is designed to expound and promote the religion of the Bab.

"A Mazandarani Account of the Babi Incident at Shaikh Tabarsi" in Iranian Studies, vol. 39, no. 3, September 2006, pp. 381-399.

"This article transcribes and glosses a nineteenth-century Mazandarani document on Babi-state conflict at Shaikh Tabarsi. Collected in 1860 in the town of Barfurush, it was published five years later by Boris Andreevich Dorn in Perso-Arabic characters, The text is the first known prose document based on natural speech in the modern Mazandarani language. The language of the text is fundamentally the same as that spoken today in the Persian province of Mazandaran, located south of the Caspian Sea. As one expects, however, there are certain extinct traits in the text, which could be identified only by comparison with other surviving Mazandarani documents of the same period. The text will contribute to the study of the largely understudied language of Mazandaran, particularly to its development since the composition of the text. It may also serve as a supplementary historical document for the historic incident it narrates"(cited from the prefaced summary note in Borjian 2006: 381),
