abstract noteThe “Mathnaví of the Blessed One” was written during Bahá’u’lláh’s exile to Constantinople. Bahá’u’lláh remained in Constantinople only a brief time, 16 August through 1 December 1863, but this was a critical turning point in His ministry. Importantly, this work of more than three hundred lines touches upon Bahá’u’lláh’s imminent declaration to the world at large what He had revealed to His followers in April of the same year in a rented garden outside Bagdad: that He was Him Whom God shall make manifest, the Manifestation of God promised and prophesied by the Báb. Consequently, this poem is as complex and varied as would be the entirety of Bahá’u’lláh’s revelation.
