Note BT — CHAPTER 6 FORCES OF OPPOSITION ARRAYED

M. Boré resided in Julfa, Iṣfahán. He was a layman sent by the French Government to obtain a foothold for the French in Írán. Later he became a Jesuit priest, and was the head of a Jesuit establishment in Galata when Layard met him in Constantinople. It is likely he sent copious notes to his superiors about the Báb and the Bábís.
