This volume contains a wealth of historical anecdotes and photographs, including the author’s eight successive visits to ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in the Holy Land, and personal accounts of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in London and in Paris (1913). Jináb-i-Azízí was present at the reading of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s Will and Testament, and, two days later, was summoned to a private meeting with Shoghi Effendi, the newly appointed successor to ‘Abdu’l-Bahá. Provisional translations of several Tablets by Bahá’u’lláh and ‘Abdu’l-Bahá are provided as well. Because this PDF is large — 188 pages and 21MB — it is not automatically displayed on this webpage.
