Material type:
TextOnline resources: Abstract: The present work aims to explore but some of this symbolism contained in the Badí‘ calendar. In doing so, it will examine some of the Shaykh í origins of the Báb’s cosmology and ontology, investigate how these Shaykh í concepts are developed in the Báb’s Writings and finally explore how they find symbolic expression in the structure and organization of the Badí ‘ calendar. Before commencing with this effort it should be noted, however, that all interpretations of passages from the Bábí and Bahá’í Writings offered here are either my own or those of the authors they are attributed to in the text and thus do not in any way represent official Bahá’í doctrine.
