Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Beha U'lláh (the Glory of God), Vol. 2
The dot or point possesses an important value in oriental writings. In Right and Wrong Uses of the Bible, page 37, Heber Newton says Early Hebrew was a language of abbreviations. No vowels were used. Consonants stood alone, and their conjunction, aided by memory, was expected to suggest the proper vowel accompaniments. Vowel points were added to the written language, centuries after the last book of the Old Testament was written. Their insertion demanded a guaran tee, if infallibility was to be secured The cipher, which is represented by a circle in the English language, is simply a dot in most of the Oriental writings.
