Summons of the Lord of Hosts:
Cross-Referenced to Proclamation of Bahá'u'lláh, the Leiden List, and Other Works

compiled by Brett Zamir
2003

The following information (besides the references cited within the passim references) was devised largely with the help of the information at https://bahai-library.com/bolhuis_crossreferences_pb_sources -- a website which shows which Summons of the Lord of Hosts passages (and other works) are in The Proclamation of Bahá'u'lláh--as well as from the references in Summons of the Lord of Hosts on-line at https://bahai-library.com/writings/bahaullah/slh/notes.html . Another resource which might be consulted is at https://bahai-library.com/writings/bahaullah/pb/16.html

There are four basic sections.

1. Summary of what is and what is not included in Summons of the Lord of Hosts (or in The Proclamation of Bahá'u'lláh).
2. Summons of the Lord of Hosts cross-referenced to The Proclamation of Bahá'u'lláh (only).
3. Summons of the Lord of Hosts cross-referenced to The Proclamation of Bahá'u'lláh and other references (those listed in the published references to Summons of the Lord of Hosts (at https://bahai-library.com/writings/bahaullah/slh/notes.html ))
4. Summons of the Lord of Hosts cross-referenced to the Leiden List (including editable, updatable versions)

Summary of what is and what is not included in Summons of the Lord of Hosts (or in The Proclamation of Bahá'u'lláh).

The phrase from the introduction to Summons of the Lord of Hosts states: "The present volume brings together the first full, authorized English translation of these major writings [message to the kings and rulers of the world]. Among them is the complete Súriy-i-Haykal, the Súrih of the Temple, one of Bahá'u'lláh's most challenging works. It was originally revealed during His banishment to Adrianople and later recast after His arrival in `Akká. In this version He incorporated His messages addressed to individual potentates -- Pope Pius IX, Napoleon III, Czar Alexander II, Queen Victoria, and Násiri'd-Dín Sháh."

The key phrase is apparently "major writings" since there are some items entirely missing from Summons of the Lord of Hosts yet present in The Proclamation of Bahá'u'lláh:

The Tablets to Kaiser Wilhelm I, Emperor Francis Joseph, and The Rulers of America are not present in Summons of the Lord of Hosts (though they are paragraphs in the Kitáb-i-Aqdas). Some of the excerpts in the sections to the Kings and Rulers Collectively, to the Religious Leaders Collectively, to the Clergy and People, and in "The Great Announcement to Mankind" are also not present in Summons of the Lord of Hosts.

The Suriy-i-Ra'is, Lawh-i-Ra'is, and Lawh-i-Fu'ad (Tablets to two Ministers of the Ottoman regime), on the other hand, alone are not included in any fashion in The Proclamation of Bahá'u'lláh.
