"Babi:" p. 124. "In Persia the Shah has narrowly escaped assassination. While he was hunting near Tehrân, on the 15th of August, six, 'ill-dressed' Persians belonging to the sect of Babi, a religious chief put to death some time since, approached the Shah with petitions. Having presented them, they demanded redress for the insult to their religion. Two seized the bridle of his horse; and before the attendants at a distance, came up, two of the assassins fired their pistols. The Shah was slightly wounded in the cheek and thigh, but retained his seat. His servants arrived at a gallop, cut down two of the assassins, and pursued and captured one. Three escaped; but they were afterward found in a well, and cut to pieces."

"Bâbeeism": p. 77. "It is said that he [the Shah] has lost confidence in his Musulman guard, since the attempt on his life last summer by five or six persons of the Bâbee sect. They approached him while out on a hunting excursion, under pretence of having a petition to present. Not suspecting any evil design, he reined up his horse and stopped. The ruffians then drew forth pistols, which they had concealed under their garments, and discharged them at the King. He fell from his horse wounded, though not seriously. The affair was investigated; and wherever persons were found, who were suspected of belonging to the Bâbee sect, they were seized and put to death with every variety of torture. Several hundred persons were killed in this manner at the capital; and messengers were dispatched to various parts of the empire with orders to the local governors to show no mercy to those professing bâbeeism [sic]."

The Princes slew Leyed Hassan, of Khorassan, a man of noted profligacy, with pistol-shots, swords, and daggers. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, full of religious and moral zeal, took the first shot at Mollah Zeyn-ul- Abedeen, of Yezd, and the secretaries of his department finished him, and cut him in pieces...."

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.

Journal Article

"Babis:" p. 73n. Translation of title: Report on the Work of the Council of the Asiatic Society.
Footnote refers to a collection of 161 manuscripts given to the library of Saint Petersburg in 1864 by Mr. Khanikof (H. v. Chanykov) that includes the “Koran of the Babis,” presumably meaning the Arabic Bayan. The catalog of the collection, edited by von B. Dorn, and entitled, “Die Sammlung von morgenlaendischen Handschriften, welche die Kaiserliche öffentliche Bibliothek zu St Petersburg im Jahre 1864,” contains extracts from the Bayan. Jules Mohl writes the following about the Babis (rough translation): "This is a modern and extremely curious sect of the Persians. Officially, the movement does not exist, and its proponents are mainly exterminated today, but we will still hear it spoken of, because it is only one symptom of an interior work being done in the center of Islam. It appears that the quietism of Sufism no longer satisfies the spirits that revolt against Islamic doctrine…. One sees in the doctrines of the Babis and other secret sects of today a mixture of religious and political aspirations that make them very remarkable. We are still imperfectly informed of the doctrines of the Bab, and the extracts that Mr. Dorn gives are the first authentic data we have on them. It is significant that the Bab, though Persian of race and born in Shiraz, wrote in the Arabic language, thus proving that he was writing above all to the classes of well-read women. Soon we will know more in detail about this mysterious movement. Mr. Kazim Beg, in Saint-Pétersbourg, wrote of its history in Russian, and has prepared a French edition of this work; later he will publish the writings of Bab and other supporting documents [see #22919-22923]. On his side, the count Gobineau is at this moment publishing a work on modern Persia [see #20360], in which he will insert translations and analyze the dogmatic writings of the Babis."

Journal Article

'Babism' Perhaps underscoring the importance of the Bábi movement in the eyes of the editor(s) of The Nation, the following notice about Zell's Univeral Cyclopedia begins with a note about Bábism: "Those interested in the history and progress of Babism will find a résumé of the subject based on the very latest intelligence and appreciation of this remarkable sect, in the newest issue of Zell's Univeral Cyclopaedia, sub verbo. As this important work progresses in monthly parts, we have been pleased to see other evidences of a purpose to keep the articles abreast with the knowledge of the present time; and although there must needs be more or less coming short of this standard amid the numberless particulars of such a combination of dictionaries, the spirit in which the cyclopaedia is edited is what it should be, and the errors are, as we pointed out in our review of it, comparatively few and inconsiderable."

"Persane aux longs sourcils, fille des anciens mages,
Qui, sans voile, du jour buvais les purs rayons,
Toi que l'on appelait des plus aimables noms,
La consolation des coeurs et des visages;

"De féroces mollahs sous un bloc de chiffons
Étouffèrent ta vie, exemple des vrais sages,
Brûlèrent ton beau corps et, de leurs mains sauvages,
En jetèrent la cendre à tous les horizons.

"Et pourquoi? pour avoir avec des cris de flamme
Ranimé chez tes soeurs la dignité de l'âme
Et maudit du harem les barreaux oppresseurs!

O toi qui de l'Islam réprouvais la doctrine,
Et pour un seul hymen voulais de libres coeurs,
Sois bénie en mes vers, ô grandeur féminine!"
