In 1883; he sold the manuscript to Mrs. George Wymberley Jones DeRenne. In 1939; the DeRenne family sold the document to the University of Georgia; where it now resides.

Review
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Well researched history of "The Promised One".By Joel Q. CottenThe picture on the cover of this book is the beautiful home of the Bab in Shiraz; destroyed by a sacerdotal order which still holds political sway over Iran. Foolish; little-minded people; who thought by destroying a physical edifice; they could destroy the spirit of the man whose ideas are so powerfully and accurately advanced by the author of this book. A timely religious history; which should be studied by anyone with an open mind.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.
