البهاء لمن خرق الاحجاب فی یوم الماب و کسر اصنام الاوهام باسم مالک الایام ... قَد جِئت بِاَمرِ الله وظَهَرت لِذکره وخُلِقْت لِخدمتهِ العزیز المحبوب

Glory be unto Him Who hath rent asunder the veils on the Day of Return, and shattered the idols of vain imaginings through the Name of the Lord of all Days [3.5s]... ...The purpose of interpretation is this: that none become deprived of that which is evident, and be veiled from that which is intended

BLIB. Manuscripts in the British Library, London, listed by Or number. For a handlist of works of the Báb see Chapter 25 of https://archive.org/details/descriptivelisto00brituoft/page/n3. Regarding manuscripts in the series Or16590 through Or15740, which together comprise half of all known works of Bahá’u’lláh, including some 4,000 items which are uniquely accessible in this series: These were the bequest of a descendent of the family of Bahá’u’lláh; were mostly transcribed by Mírzá Muḥammad-‘Alí, and are likely to have been derived in part from the two stolen satchels of Bahá’u’lláh’s papers mentioned in GPB p.249 and MMK4#189 p.276. While included here owing to their importance, their degree of fidelity to the originals has not yet been ascertained
