	An Ancient Syriac Translation Of The Kur'an, Exhibiting New Verses And Variants, Alphonse Mingana, 1925
		Most of the Syriac writers from the middle of the seventh century downwards appear on the whole to be well acquainted with the religion of their new masters although in the historical sphere a few of them fall into grave errors in their biographical essays on the genealogy of the first Arab Caliphs and generals.
		The Syriac translation of this passage actually reads: "Turn thy face towards the east of holiness." But we should perhaps be expecting too much from the ingenuity of the Syrian translator were we to assume that he knew the direction of the door of the Ka'bah and all the intricate Muslim questions affecting it.
		There are in the Syriac text some errors of the copyist to which we wish here to draw attention in the order in which they occur in the MS.

	The Bah`’ World, Vol. 18, Part Five: In Memoriam
		During her stay in Santos Leonora began her prodigious and historic task of translating Bah`’ literature into Portuguese; at first it was a simple pamphlet to distribute at her talks--often typed over and over on her small portable typewriter--later, as her skills developed, an intense outpouring of the major works of the Faith.
		Bah`’ life, but for the history books let me state that she was born on 8 December 1907 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the fourth of twelve children of Herman and Elsie (Lyman) Bremer.
		The Bah`’s were subjected to a series of arrests, trials and sentences of imprisonment, notably in 1965, 1967 and 1972, and Subh’ played his full part in these events.

	The Kitáb-i-Iqán
		According to Shoghi Effendi in God Passes By, this Book set “forth in outline the Grand Redemptive Scheme of God” and it “occupies a position unparalleled by any work in the entire range of the Bahá’í literature, except the Kitáb-i-Aqdas, Bahá'u'lláh’s Most Holy Book”
		The Kitáb-i-Iqán (Book of Certitude) was revealed within the space of two days and two nights, in the last years of Bahá'u'lláh’s stay in Baghdad (1278 A.H.-1862 A.D.).
		The primary aim of the course is provide a guide to the systematic study of the book with the view to make the students familiar with its contents and draw out some of its important themes in relation to fundamental tenets of the Faith, and to teaching.

	A Baha'i Approach to the Claim of Finality in Islam
		The predominant explanation of khátam al-nabiyyín (seal of the prophets) in Bahá'í literature is focussed on the belief that Bahá'u'lláh is the fulfilment of the Qur'ánic eschatology.
		Sealing may also be a guarantee of authenticity, or a device designed to prevent the unauthorised opening of a receptacle without knowledge of the owner.
		On this ground the term khátam al-nabiyyín (seal of the prophets) refers to the fact that the Prophet confirmed the prophets before him and thus the peoples of Arabia, who had not accepted the prophethood of the prophets of the past, particularly those of the Abrahamic tradition, were summoned to recognise them (Rawshani, Khátamiyyat 30-31).

		It was the appearence of the book Les Religions et les Philosophies dans l'Asie Centrale (Paris, 1865) by Arthur, Comte de Gobineau (q.v.) which more than anything else served to bring the Bábí movement to the attention of the West.
		After Gobineau's book, interest and coverage of the new religion reached a second peak during the time of `Abdu'l-Bahá's journeys to the West (1911-1913).

	Self and society: biography and autobiography in Bahá'’ literature
		In what may be an unconscious evolution, the literature has in the first 150 years of its tradition produced studies ranging from the twin ‘Great Souls’ (the Báb and Bahá'u'lláh), to their followers of high and low station alike, and even those who worked as servants and slaves.
		But this literature in its original form was not as concerned with the details of an individualised life as with the generalised moral story that it could be called on to tell.
		Autobiographies may also be written for other purposes, whether for the instruction of others, or simply to record the times one has lived through and the events one has witnessed or participated in.
