Note:
"'Trois ans en Asie (de 1855 à 1858)' was first published in Paris in 1859 by Librairie de L. Hachette & Cie; and the first edition of 'Les Religions et les Philosophies dans l'Asie centrale' appeared in Paris in 1865 from Didier & Cie. The French texts used for this translation are to be found in volume two of Gobineu's three-volume 'Œuvres', general editor Jean Gaulmier, published by Gallimard in 1983.|| Almost the entire second part of 'Trois ans en Asie' is translated here [...]. From 'Religions et Philosophies', the entire section on Babism has been translated" (Notes on the text, transliterations and annotations, Seite vii)
