CONTENT | Abstract: This thesis deals with Islamic Isralliyyat ("Israelitica") literary traditions, the Bible, and the relationship to them of two closely related post-Islamic movements, the Babi and Bahá'í religions. It concerns the Islamic assimilation and treatment of pre-Islamic, biblical and related materials and their level of post-Islamic Babi-Bahá'í assimilation and exposition. More specifically, this thesis focuses upon select aspects of the biblical and Islamo-biblical ("Islamified", "Islamicate") traditions reflected within the Arabic and Persian writings of two Iranian born 19th century messianic claimants, Sayyid 'Ali Muhammad Shirazi, the Bab (1819-1859), and Mirza Husayn 'Ali Nuri (1817-1892), entitled Baha'-Allah, the founders of the Babi and Bahá'í religions respectively. |
