Overview

First Edition. "A seminal 499-page compilation that synthesizes the exhaustive research of Edward Granville Browne, the preeminent British orientalist who was the only Western scholar to interview the central figures of these faiths during their formative years. Edited by Moojan Momen, this volume is unique because it preserves Browne’s primary source accounts, translations, and historical observations—originally scattered across various academic journals—within a single, authoritative reference. What makes this work truly special is its eyewitness perspective; it offers a rare, scholarly bridge between the 19th-century Persian landscape and modern Western understanding, providing an unfiltered look at the transition from the Bábí movement to the Bahá'í Faith through the eyes of a meticulous, non-adherent academic."
