1. 2022-06-22 — The passing of Denis M. MacEoin (b. 26 January 1949 in Belfast, Northern Ireland) due to complication from COVID-19. He was a British academic, scholar and writer with a focus on Persian, Arabic and Islamic studies. He authored several academic books and articles, as well as many pieces of journalism. Since 2014 he published a number of essays on current events with a Middle Eastern focus at the Gatestone Institute, of which he was a Senior Fellow. [Wikipedia]

   The Gatestone Institute published a list of his writings.

   He had been an active member of the Bahá'í Faith from 1966 to 1980 when he resigned because his manuscript was rejected by the Bahá'í review process. He later published The Sources for Early Bābī Doctrine and History with E.J.Brill. [Wikipedia]

   For a list of his documents and publications see Bahá'í Library Online.

   He also had a career as a novelist, publishing well over twenty novels. He used the pen names of Daniel Eastman and Jonathan Aycliffe. [en-academic.com]
