Mirza Mihdi Dahaji, . [History of the Baha'i Faith]. Digital facsimile of British Manuscript Project MS No. 1321(5) , University of Michigan. East Lansing, Mi.: H-Bahai, 2000. Notes: E.G. Browne writes: "Some account of this remarkable tract will be found in my Materials for the Study of the Babi Religion (Cambridge, 1918), pp. 231-233 and 237. The author, Sayyid Mahdi of Dahaj (near Shahr-i-Babak), was eight years old at the time of the Bab's "Manifestation" in 1844, and became a believer in him at the age of thirteen. Though he never saw the Bab, he was acquainted with many of his chief followers, such as Sayyid Yahya of Darab, and in 1858 he went to Baghdad to visit Subh-i-Azal, but was much more impressed by Baha'u'llah, whom he followed when the schism came, and to whom he remained faithful for thiry-five years. When Baha'u'llah died in 1892, the author, Sayyid Mahdi, espoused the cause of his son Muhammad `Ali, and reputdiated the claims of `Abbas Efendi `Abdu'l-Baha. His long connection with the Babi community from the earliest days renders his account singularly full and detailed and enables him to supply many interesting details not to be found elsewhere. He was moved to write it by the perusal of the Persian introduction to my text of Hajji Mirza Jani's Nuqtatu'l-Kaf in. . . which he desired to criticize in many details . . . From a passage on p. 254 it appears that it was composed in A.D. 1914 . . ." - Catalogue of Manuscripts, p. 78.
