Hippolyte Dreyfus-Barney

This is the first comprehensive account of the life of Hippolyte Dreyfus-Barney. By virtue of his ability to read Persian and Arabic and his numerous publications, translations, and public talks, Hippolyte was recognized by prominent orientalists as the first Bahá’í scholar in the West. During his life, he was sent all over the world to teach and promote the Cause. Shoghi Effendi posthumously named him a Disciple of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá.
