505			_aIn about 1880, the Bahá'í Mirza Husayn Hamadani with the support of Mirza Abu'l-Fadl took some version of Mirza Jani's 1851 account and worked it up into a new history, the Tárikh-i-Jadíd. However he did this at the request of a Zoroastrian, Manakji, who then added a preface, an epilogue, and an unknown number of amendments to the text, to publish under his name. It can be suggested that these amendments are mostly in the form of the many digressions that appear throughout the text and interrupt the history, and also the introduction and conclusion to the work (both omitted in this). Due to copying mistakes and personal amendments, this history has also over time collected its own errors, notes and additions.
520	3		_a"Decades of suppression and persecution suffered by Babis caused a sense of disillusion and frustration in the scattered communities throughout Iran, which in turn led to the temporary neglect of their historical past, both in oral and written forms. Toward the 1880's... the revival of the Babi circles in Iran demonstrated a... need for the compilation of new general narratives... in a different language and style and with an emphasis on historical events that could satisfy the new ideological orientation of these groups [Bahá'ís and Azalís]." (Amanat, The Early Years of the Babi Movement). This history was written by Husayn Hamadání under the patronage of Mánakjí Limjí Hataria, with assistance from Mírzá Abu'l-Fadl Gulpáygání. Browne's harsh criticisms of this work, which includes what he regarded as "distortions and deviations" may be questioned, for it is not yet known whether other versions of an earlier history (published by Browne as the Kitáb-i-Nuqtatu'l-Káf) were in existence. Other versions of that earlier history might cast doubt on what Browne believed to be the correct history of the Bábís. See also Balyuzi, Edward Granville Browne and the Bahá'í Faith.
