^{In progress, April 27 2015 - under constant revision, correction and supplementation.}

Introduction

This webpage will be devoted to an attempted chronological listing of major titled and select other mss. and printed writings of Baha'-Allah considered divine revelation by his followers, the Baha'is. The language(s) (Ar. Arabic/ Per. Persian) or languages in which they are written will be indicated as will, when known to the present writer on the basis of many previous researchers, the date and recepients of the text listed. Occasional brief notes will be added. In due course the opening lines and closing paragraphs or colophons will also be added. The order listing and implied datings of the scriptural Tablets below, are largely highly provisional and willin many cases, be frequently "corrected" or altered.

The dating of Bahā’-Allāh's Writings.

The precise dating of many, perhaps most of the alwah (scriptural Tablets) of Bahā’-Allāh, is not known with certainty. Precise datings are, however, occasionally given for writings dating to the last few decades of Bahā’-Allāh's lifetime; most notably when written as if by his amanuensis Mirza Aqa Jan, Khadim-Allāh (`The Servant of God'). At the present time, lack of precise dating even applies to such major works as the Kitab-i iqan (`The Book of Certitude', c.1861), Kitab-i aqdas (`Most Holy Book', c. 1873) and Kitab ahdi (`The Book of [the] My Covenant', c.1891). With the question of the dating of Baha'-Allah's writings one has to bear in mind the fact that a good many major texts (e.g. Rashh-i `ama'; Surat al-Haykal, etc) exist in more than one recension and in Persian and Arabic versions. Sometimes, furthermore, these multiple recensions of alwah are several years apart. Baha'-Allah also cited his own texts in recreated or re-revealed versions; for example, the Lawh-i Malika (Tablet to Queen Victoria) in the Lawh-i Ibn-i dhi`b, "Epistle to the Son of the Wolf").

Among the facors which future scholarship will need to take into account when attempting to date writings or revelations more precisely are :

The evolving handwriting, language, style, content and claims of Bahā’-Allāh himself;
The possible implications of any introduction, colophon or attached seals or signitures associated with a given Tablet;
The handwriting and dating of the script of the amanuensis and/ or copyist.
Factors within Babi-Baha'i and other historical sources contextualizing persons in receipt of alwah and/or events referred to in the Tablets;
The lifespan, biogaphy, locations or travels of the recepient(s).
Global mss. locations and related factors such as acquisition dates in libraries or such institutions, etc.

This study has hardly begun, except in the case of a limited number of largely major, titled alwah, or scriptutal Tablets.

As an indication of dating the following periods within which Baha'i sacred writings were most likely written will be indicated as follows :

The Persian Babi years (1844-1852). TB1. (1260->1269 = 1844->1852). Writings dating to the Persian years of the Bābī period (1844-1852) prior to Baha'-Allah's imprisonment in the notorious Siyāh Chāl ("Black Pit") dungeon in Tehran and the exile to Iraq. No reliable list of writings ascribed to Bahā'-Allāh during his earliest Bābī years is available. Various historical and scriptural sources do mention writings of these years though most do not seem to be extant.

The years in Iraq, Baghdad, Iraqi Kurdistan, etc (1853-1863). TB2 A-C covering three periods : TB2A - dating to the early few years in Iraq, Baghdad and elsewhere (1852-1854). TB2B- probably dating to the roughly two years of the period of the Iraq interregnum in Iraqi Kurdistan, Sulaymaniyya elsewhere (1854-1856). TB2C - dating to the post-Sulaymaniyya years in Iraq, mostly Baghdad (1856-May 1863). This period is followed by the time at Constaninople-Istanbul (1863), designated TB3 covering the year or so in Constantinople-Istanbul, 1863. At least five major alwah date from this period.

The years in Adrianople-Edirne (1863-August 1868). TB4. and divided into three : TB4A - dating to the first Adrianople-Edirne period before the break with Mirza Yahya Nuri (c.1831-1914) who came to oppose Baha'-Allah's theophanic claims; between mid. 1863 and March 1866.TB4B - dating to the second Adrianople-Edirne period of the emergent, independent Baha'i religion after the break with Mīrzā Yahyā Nuri in March 1866 until the move to the house of `Izzat Pāshā in August 1867 (around 1 year 6 months). TB4C - The third period. From the time of the move to the House of `Izzat Pasha (Aug. 1867) until the exile to Acre in Ottoman Palestine (Western Galilee, Aug. 1868). The years in Ottoman Palestine, Acre, Bahji, etc (1868-1892). TB5. This twenty-four year time period loosely divided up into five subdivisions : (TB5A - TB5E)

TB1 = The Persian Babi years, 1260->1269 = 1844->1852/3.
