The First Newspaper Articles in the Austrian Empire Dealing with the Babi-Baha'i Religion and Their Sources
The ties between the Austrian Empire and the Babi-Baha'i religion are a long neglected area of scholarly research. In the period between 1850 and 1900, the Austrian (later Austro-Hungarian) Empire was, along with the British and the Russian Empires, one of the three most influential European powers in Iran (or Persia, as it was then known).
Austrian subjects were witnesses to many of the most important episodes in the early history of these Faiths. Their accounts of these episodes were often published in the leading newspapers of the day - the first in 1850 and a large number in October and November 1852.
