The Isma'ilis represent the second largest Shii Muslim community
after the Twelvers, and are today scattered throughout more than
twenty-five countries in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe and
North America. This 2007 second edition of this authoritative book
traces the history and doctrinal development of the Isma'ilis from
their origins in the formative period of Islam to the present day,
a period of more than twelve centuries. All the major phases of
Isma'ili history are covered, including the pre-Fatimid period, the
Fatimid 'golden age', the Tayyibi-Mustali period and the history of
the Nizari Isma'ilis of Persia and Syria before the Mongol
invasions. The final part traces the history of the modern
Isma'ilis, particularly the socio-economic progress of the Nizari
communities. The new edition is a thorough revision and
incorporates new material, an expanded bibliography and new
illustrations. It will be invaluable reading for students of
Islamic and Middle Eastern history.
