Summary of Contents: تنبيه النائمين The Tanbihu'n-Náimín, or "Awakening of the Sleepers," is described in my Materials, pp. 226-227. As there explained, it consists of three separate parts, viz. (1) a letter from 'Abbás Efendi 'Abdu'l-Bahá to the Báb's aunt, called by the Bábís Khánim-i-Buzurg ("the Great Lady"), who was still living in Tihrán in 1913, inciting her to accept Bahá'u'lláh and abjure Subh-i-Azal; (2) her long and caustic reply, which contains much valuable historical material; (3) a homily and refutation by Shaykh Ahmad of Kirmán, the well-known and unfortunate Azali. This MS. was received from Dr Sa'id Khán of Hasanábád near Țihrán on April 6, 1912. It was transcribed by Mírzá Mustafà and completed on the 3rd of Rabi II, 1330/ March 22, 1912. It comprises 266 pp. of 17'5 x 10'5 c. and 16 ll., and is written in a clear naskh.
