Hearken unto the call raised from the direction of the Most Great Prison, wherein speaketh the Ancient King: "Verily there is none other God but Him!" [3.5s]... ...My God, my God! Praise be unto Thee inasmuch as Thou hast guided me unto the ocean of Thy loving providence, and hast aided me to turn unto the horizon of Thy Revelation

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
