"When Bahá'u'lláh revealed Tablets, the speed of Revelation was so fast that the handwriting of his amanuensis, Mírzá Áqá Ján, was almost illegible. Only Mírzá Áqá Ján could decipher this revelation writing, and he occasionally had to seek the help of Bahá'u'lláh before it could be transcribed..."

– from A Basic Bahá'í Dictionary (1989)
