Amanuensis
___________________
Secretary; one who writes from dictation or copies manuscripts.
In Bahá'í history it refers to the person who wrote down the words of revelation as they were spoken by Bahá'u'lláh and the Báb. Siyyid Ḥusayn-i-Yazdí, one of the Letters of the Living, was the Báb's amanuensis in Máh-Kú and Chihríq. Mírzá Áqá Ján was for many years the amanuensis of Bahá'u'lláh.
[BD 15]
