Summary of Contents: The following note by Professor Browne, dated Christmas Eve, 1924, is written
on the fly-leaf: "Received from Dr Sa'id Khán Kurdistání on December 23, 1924, with
accompanying letter (dated Dec. 3, 1924) pasted opposite. The author of this work, Hájjí Mírzá Mahdi of Isfahán, is a son-in-law of Subh-
i-Azal and is now (1924) 70 years of age. He was formerly in Cyprus and
Constantinople, and apparently had some correspondence with me and sent me
some books by Subh-i-Azal's directions. Being in some ways dissatisfied with my
Introduction to the text of Hájjí Mírzá Jání's history of the Báb entitled Nuqtatu'l-
Káf (published in the Gibb Series) he wrote this treatise criticizing the views there
expressed. This MS. is in his own handwriting." Pp. 246 of 20 x 12'7 c. and 23 ll. Dated 13 Shawwál, 1342/19 May, 1924.
