Abstract	The purpose of this article is to acquaint the reader with a Tablet of Baháʼuʼlláh which until now has remained relatively unknown but is worthy of great attention, given that it features revelatory language and likely dates to the early 1850s. If true, the Tablet would constitute significant evidence that Baháʼuʼlláh expressed Himself as a theophany, in authenticated writing, long before He publicly declared Himself to be a Manifestation of God. For ease of reference, the present author proposes that this Tablet be called the Lawḥ-i-Ḥamd-i-Musha'sha' (The Tablet of the Effulgent Praise), after the first few words of its opening sentence. The article will feature an exploration of two possible hypotheses as to when the Lawḥ-i-Ḥamd-i-Musha'sha' might have been revealed, along with the historical context that attends these periods, followed by an analysis of selected passages from the Tablet (made available in provisional English translation elsewhere).
