Description
Summary:Alessandro Bausani was an Italian Baha'i, philologist and scholar at the University of Rome. A small but important part of his literary production was concerned with studies of the Babi-Baha'i Faith. He produced two well regarded papers on the origins and relations between various monotheisms in which he situates the Babi-Baha'i movement vis a vis other great religious systems. The first article was published in Italian as Bausani, Alessandro (1957). Note per una tipologia del monoteismo. Studi e materiali di storia delle religioni (Rome) 28: 67-88. That article is translated here because of its relevance to Baha'i Studies. See also the companion article: Alessandro Bausani (1963). Can Monotheism Be Taught?: Further Considerations on the Typology of Monotheism. Numen (Leiden) 10: 167-201.
