The Ismailis
The Ismailis represent the second largest Shiʿi Muslim community, after the Twelver or Ithnaʿashari Shiʿis. They have had an eventful and complex history dating back to the formative period of Islam. In the course of their long history, the Ismailis became subdivided into a number of major branches and minor groupings. However, since the end of the 5th/11th century, they have existed in terms of two main branches, the Nizaris and the Mustaʿli-Tay…
Samuel Stern and early Ismā‘īlism
The pre-Fāṭimid or early period in Ismāʿīlī history is one of the most obscure major phases in the entire history of Ismāʿīlism. This is mainly because we do not have any reliable sources written by the Ismāʿīlīs of that period, and our knowledge of that phase is primarily based on non- Ismāʿīlī sources. As a result, many aspects of early Ismāʿīlism have continue to be shrouded in mystery, causing differences of opinion among the scholars in the …
The Shi‘i World
A Modern History of the Ismailis
The Ismailis have enjoyed a long, eventful and complex history dating back to the 8th century CE and originating in the Shi’i tradition of Islam. During the medieval period, Ismailis of different regions - especially in central Asia, south Asia, Iran and Syria - developed and elaborated their own distinctive literary and intellectual traditions, which have made an outstanding contribution to the culture of Islam as a whole. At the same time, the …

A Short History of the Ismailis

The Ismailis were until recently studied primarily on the basis of the records of their enemies. Taking into account newly recovered Ismaili texts, this book offers the only introduction based on modern scholarship.
Medieval Ismaʿili History and Thought
The Empire of the Mahdi
In the 9th century, a secret sect of the Isma'ilis -- known in the Middle Ages under the name of Fatimids -- arose to play a prominent role in the history of the Near East. Their supreme head today is the Agha Khan. In this mesmerising book, Heinz Halm describes the early history of the Fatimids, from the founding and spread of the secret society to the rise of the caliphal dynasty to power in North Africa and the founding of Cairo, their capital

The Assassin Legends
For hundreds of years Westerners have been fascinated by stories of the Assassins, their mysterious leader and their remote mountain stronghold at Alamut in Northern Iran. The legends first emerged in the 12th and 13th centuries, when Crusaders in Syria came into contact with the Nazari Isma‘ilis, one of the communities of Shi‘ite Islam who, at the behest of their leader Hassan Sabaa (mythologized as the “Old Man of the Mountain”), engaged in dan…
The Isma'ilis. Their History and Doctrines
A Major Schism in the Early Isma'ili Movement
The Isma'ili movement was rent by a major schism in the year 286/899, shortly after 'Ubayd Allah ('Abd Allah) al-Mahdi, the future Fatimid caliph, had succeeded to the central leadership of the Isma'ilis. As a result of this schism, brought to the attention of modern scholars by the recent progress in Isma'Ili studies, early Isma'llism was split into two rival factions, which later became generally designated as Fatimid Isma'ilism and Qarmatism. …
Persian Historiography of the Early Nizārī Ismāʿīlīs
Culture and memory in medieval Islam
The relationship between the workings of memory and the formation of culture is intriguingly close in the world of medieval Islam. In this book, distinguished contributors explore broad-ranging themes relating to memory, memorisation, memorialising or commemorating in a variety of historical, legal, literary and architectural contexts. Abbas Amanat, Irene Bierman, Elton Daniel, George Makdisi, Andrew Newman, Roy Mottahedeh, Ismail K. Poonawala an…

Development Planning in Iran
By the time the Fifth Development Plan was adopted in 1973, Iran had already experienced more than three decades of governmental efforts towards economic development. These efforts first started in the early 1920s and culminated, in the postwar period, in the country's First Development Plan. Before discussing the second and subsequent plans, it will be useful to review the main features of the initial efforts at planning in Iran. The development…

W. Ivanow
The death on June 19, 1970, of W. Ivanow, at the age of eighty-four takes from our midst an outstanding Orientalist and the greatest modern contributor to Ismadili studies. It is not possible in the limited space available here to give full information on the life and works of this lamented scholar, who was blessed with both longevity and rare productivity. Ivanow had to his credit some 120 publications, excluding book reviews, a list of which, c…
The Balance of Payment Deficit and The Problem of Inflation in Iran, 1955–1962
It is a commonly held view that development policies lead to domestic inflation together with balance of payments problems. The underlying mechanisms which in many developing countries have made this view come true are rather well-known. Increased investment outlays lead to increased purchasing power and imports; prices rise, and, to the extent that aggregate output and real income actually increase, this in itself will further contribute to the …
