notes	Bâbysme, Bâbys : p. 141-358, 461-543. This famous work by the Minister of France and ambassador to Persia introduced the Western world to the history and doctrines of the Babi Religion in Persia, inspiring many writers hence to honor the fortitude and courage of the martyrs of the Faith (Renan, Arnold, Palmer, Dods and others relied heavily, if not entirely, on Gobineau's work). For at least 24 years, it stood as the principal resource for the study of the Faith in the West. Shoghi Effendi includes large portions of the French text in his footnotes of the Dawnbreakers.
