[Brief autobiographical chronicle of the Shaykhi and Babi movements, including Fort Shaykh Tabarsi].

References: MacEoin, Sources for Early Babi Doctrine and History, pp. 165-166: "The . . . narrative of some fifty pages penned by Mulla Ja`far Qazvini . . . The author was born between 1221/1806 and 1223/1808 in Qazvin, studied in Karbala under Rashti, became a Babi, and met the Bab en route to Maku. His history, which remains incomplete, was written in 1293/1876. It contains references to al-Ahsa'i, Rashti, Shirazi, Bushru'i, Darabi, the Shaykh Tabarsi insurrection, the attempt on Nasir al-Din's life, and details of sundry events at Qazvin. Like the narrative of Hajj Nasir Qazvini, it was published in the first edition of the Tarikh-i Samandar, but it too was removed from subsequent printings.
