Persian Bayan (“Exposition”) (bahai-library.com) – It is a translation from the French translation of Persian Bayan by A.L.M. Nicolas, which is quoted by Shoghi Effendi in the footnotes of The Dawn-Breakers. There is no translation yet from the original Persian directly into English. However, Nicolas was very familiar with the Babi movement, translated more of the Bab’s Writings than anyone else, and was fluent in both Arabic and Persian.
