It was during His incarceration in the fortress of Máh-Kú
that He [the Báb], according to the testimony of Shaykh Ḥasan-i-Zunúzí, who
transcribed during those nine months the verses dictated by the Báb to His
amanuensis, revealed no less than nine commentaries on the whole of the
Qur’án—commentaries whose fate, alas, is unknown, and one of which, at least
the Author Himself affirmed, surpassed in some respects a book as deservedly
famous as the Qayyúmu’l-Asmá.
