Researchers have shed light on the literary production of the
Ismailis since the early 1930s. The cataloguing of these work has
been carried out by Ivanow, Fyzee, Goriawala, Poonawala, Gacek,
Cortese and de Bloise. Many works attributable to Ismaili scholars,
however, are still unavailable either because they remain hidden in
private collections or because they have not survived. Ismaili law,
in particular, is still a largely unexplored field of study.
Al-Qadi Abu Hanifa al-Nu'man is generally considered the founder
and greatest exponent of Ismaili jurisprudence, Many of his works
have been lost, and information on some others is scattered; yet
other works remain in manuscript form, and only a few have been
published. The present book is a critical edition and translation
of al-Nu'man's Minhaj al-fara'id, based on its three known copies.
It deals with the law of inheritance, one of the most complex in
Islamic law. In comparing the Minhaj with two published works (the
Da'a'im al-Islam and Kitab al-iqtisar) as well as a manuscript
(Mukhtasar al-athar) of al-Nu'man, a significant doctrinal
evolution clearly emerges, reflecting his early Maliki training and
then his work under four Fatimid imams. Ismaili law is also
compared with the doctrines of the Imami school as well as the
legal system of the four Sunni schools. This book thus allows us to
determine the time of the composition of the Minhaj al-fara id, the
development and the originality of Ismaili jurisprudence, and its
relation to other schools of law.
