Descriptive List of Mutiny Papers : In the National Archives of India, Bhopal (Vol. VIII) /
:
The collection of 'Mutiny Papers' housed in the National Archives of India, Regional Office, Bhopal is an invaluable historical resource on the uprising of 1857 in India, particularly in the Bundelkhand region and in Central India. These are 10,000 documents in Persian, spread over 425 files. The book, VIIIth in the series, presents a word-for-word translation of the documents from 90 files. The events of 1857 upon which these documents throw light, are the siege of Gwalior by the insurgents and its recapture by the British forces and reinstallation of Maharaja Sindhia, fall of Rani of Jhansi, and the capture of Jhansi by the British. Besides, there is an eye-witness account of Delhi, from day one when the so-called mutineers arrived in Delhi from Meerut and started indiscriminate killing of the British. Delhi was recaptured subsequently. Nawwab Sikandar Begam, the then Nawwab of Bhopal State was one of those who remained loyal to the British Government. Her loyalty saved her small State from any turmoil. While the other States like Jhansi, Awadh, Banda, Farrukhabad, Kanpur, etc., were completely ruined and captured by the British forces. Delhi, the stronghold of the Mughal Empire was fully devastated and captured. Bahadur Shah Zafar, the last Mughal King was exiled to Rangoon after the victory of the British forces and India became part of the British Empire afterwards.

The Sources for Early Bābī Doctrine and History : A Survey /
:
The religious movement known as Bābism profoundly affected Iranian society during the 1840s. After a lengthy hiatus, academic study of the sect has entered a new phase with the appearance of several important books, articles, and theses. The present work surveys Persian and Arabic manuscripts relating to the history and doctrines of the sect. Part one examines the writings of the Bāb and his followers. Part two analyses primary and secondary sources for Bābī history, with a discussion of the controversial Kitāb-i Nuqṭat al-kāf . Discussion of each title is followed by a comprehensive listing of known MS copies. An appendix contains an index of first lines and titles for works of the Bāb. This is the first study to examine the large corpus of Bābī writing and will help scholars identify texts and find manuscripts in Europe and the Middle East.

Ibāḍī texts from the 2nd/8th century.
:
In Ibāḍī Texts from the 2nd/8th Century Abdulrahman Al-Salimi and Wilferd Madelung present an edition of fourteen Ibāḍī religious texts and explain their contents and extraordinary source value for the early history of Islam. The Ibāḍīs constitutes the moderate wing of the Kharijite opposition movement to the Umayyad and 'Abbasid caliphates. The texts edited are mostly polemical letters to opponents or exhortatory to followers by 'Abd Allah born Ibad , Abu l-'Ubayda Muslim born Abi Karima and other Ibadi leaders in Basra, Oman and Hadramawt. An epistle detailing the offences of the caliph 'Uthman is by the early Kufan historiographer al-Haytham born 'Adi. By their early date and independence of the mainstream historical tradition these txts offer the modern historian of Islam an invaluable complement to the well-known literary sources.
