The Isma¯¨¯ıl¯ıs represent the second largest Sh¯ı¨¯ı Muslim community after the Twelvers (Ithna¯¨ashar¯ıs), and are today dispersed as religious minorities throughout more than twenty-five countries of Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe and North America. The bulk of the Isma¯¨¯ıl¯ıs recognize the Aga Khan as their imam or spiritual leader. The second edition of this authoritative book, the product of more than twenty years’ research, traces the history and doctrinal development of the Isma¯¨¯ıl¯ıs from their origins in the formative period of Islam to the present day, a period of more than twelve centuries. It is the first comprehensive synthesis of the results of modern scholarship in Isma¯¨¯ıl¯ı studies and draws on numerous primary sources and secondary studies on the subject, particularly on the Isma¯¨¯ıl¯ı manuscripts which have only recently become available.All the major phases of Isma¯¨¯ıl¯ı history are covered. Beginning at the pre-Fat ¯.imid period, Dr Daftary conducts a detailed investigation, moving through the Fat ¯.imid ‘golden age’ and the troubled T. ayyib¯ı–Musta¨l¯ı period through the glorious age of Nizar ¯ ¯ı Isma¯¨¯ılism in Iran and Syria to the Mongol onslaught. The final part of the book traces the modern development of the Isma¯¨¯ıl¯ı community, explaining the revival of Nizar ¯ ¯ı Isma¯¨¯ılism, particularly in Iran, Central and South Asia, and the socio-economic progress of the Nizar ¯ ¯ı communities in modern times.
The new edition has been thoroughly revised and incorporates an expanded bibliography and new illustrations
