Chapter 1

This chapter is not yet online. However, the Arabic pages of the original text are online at h-net.org/~bahai/arabic/vol4/qazvini/qazvini.htm.

Qazvini's history is valuable in certain ways; it was done by an individual who felt himself faithful to the Bab and to Bahá'u'lláh, and so its early sections were written to cast a positive light on the early periods of the Bahá'í Faith. However, its author rebelled against `Abdu'l-Bahá, and so much of its later content is doctrinally suspect. It will not be posted until a sufficiently annotated edition can be produced. (-J.W., 1999)
