Abstract: The writings of Bahá’u’lláh comprise a vast and diverse body of documents written in Arabic and Persian during a forty-year period, both before and after His declaration of His prophetic mission in 1863. Almost 20,000 distinct works, from brief items of correspondence to lengthy treatises, totalling almost seven million words have so far been catalogued at the Bahá’í World Centre in Haifa, Israel, which preserves authenticated copies of the majority. This chapter reviews the content and style of Bahá’u’lláh’s corpus and briefly summarizes 146 of His principal works revealed over three periods of His literary output. (from taylorfrancis.com)
