The Bab's Dala'il-i Sab`ih:
The Seven Proofs

Sayyid `Ali Muhammad "the Bab" Shirazi. Dala'il-i Sab`ih (The Seven Proofs). Azali Publication: Tehran: 195? East Lansing, MI: H-Bahai, 1998. References: MacEoin, Sources for Early Babi Doctrine and History, pp. 85-87. Abbas Amanat, Resurrection and Renewal: The Making of the Babi Movement in Iran, 1844-1850 (Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 1989), pp. 161, 193, 199, 375, 384. *Notes: Amanat remarks, "In early July [1847] the Bab was finally sent to Maku . . . Greater Consciousness in his writings in this period of his own emotional impulses, together with a noticeably improved clarity and assertiveness of style, demonstrate the Bab's intellectual maturation. The Maku period proved to be one of the most prolific phases of his short life. Besides numerous letters and sermons, he compiled parts of the Persian Bayan, his most systematic and textually coherent work, and wrote an apologia, Dala'il-i Sab`a* (The Seven Proofs), in defense of his claims. It was in Maku, too, that for the first time the nascent theme of a new prophetic dispensation took consistent shape." PDF file, 2006: Dala'il-i Sab`ih
