Notes regarding this online presentation of the Bibliography:
  1. While this bibliography is quite comprehensive, it is still partial. Its most significant omission is journal articles, the more useful of which can be found in A Resource Guide for the Scholarly Study of the Bahá'í Faith.
  2. I have stripped all diacritics save apostrophes, which represent both hamza and ayn.
  3. I have done the alphabetizing automatically instead of manually, which has caused certain confusions:
    1. My word processor alphabetizes apostrophes first. 'Ali's History would precede Abedi's History.
    2. Quotation marks are ignored. Mirza would precede "Muhammad.
    3. Brackets are last. Zwemer precedes [al-Balaghi.
  4. While I transposed definite articles, e.g. Bab, The, I did not have time to do the same with indefinites. A Ziyadi would precede Babi. -J.W.
