This book relates the story of the evolution of the B\u00e1b\u00ed-Bah\u00e1\u02be\u00ed community, beginning with the birth of its founder, Siyyid \u02beAl\u00ed-Muhammad, known as the B\u00e1b, in 1819 and then traced over the next century and a half in the city of his birth, Sh\u00edr\u00e1z. Its author, M\u00edrz\u00e1 Hab\u00edbu\u02bell\u00e1h Afn\u00e1n, was himself born in the house of the B\u00e1b, reared by the widow of the B\u00e1b, who shared with him many stories of the B\u00e1b\u2019s life, then spent nearly a year with Bah\u00e1\u02beu\u02bell\u00e1h in the \u02beAkka-Haifa area, and some ten years in close proximity to Bah\u00e1\u02beu\u02bell\u00e1h\u2019s son \u02beAbdu\u02bel-Bah\u00e1. He served for the next half century as the hereditary custodian of the house of the B\u00e1b, and as such was uniquely qualified to tell the story of the B\u00e1b\u00ed-Bah\u00e1\u02be\u00ed Faiths in the city of Sh\u00edr\u00e1z in remarkable and moving detail."}, "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2009-12-11T05:52:26.180694"}, "dewey_number": ["297.90955/72"], "title": "The genesis of Babi-Baha'i faiths in Shiraz and Fars", "covers": [6257579], "subject_places": ["Iran", "Sh\u012br\u0101z", "F\u0101rs", "Shiraz", "Fars"], "first_publish_date": "2008", "subject_people": ["Baha'u'llah", "Bab", "Afnan", "Rabbani"], "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2010-08-04T19:49:17.893711"}, "authors": [{"type": {"key": "/type/author_role"}, "author": {"key": "/authors/OL5172632A"}}], "latest_revision": 4, "subject_times": ["19th century Iran", "20th century Iran"], "type": {"key": "/type/work"}, "subjects": ["Bahai Faith", "Bahais", "Shiraz", "Fars", "Iran", "Baha'is"], "revision": 4}
