The Ismailis are the second-largest Shi'i community in the world
today, settled in over 25 countries across Asia, Africa, the Middle
East, Europe and North America. They are the only Muslims to follow
a living spiritual guide of their community, the Nizari Ismaili
Imam. This book is the first collection of biographies of all the
Ismaili Imams, from the seminal Imams of early Shi'i Islam, through
to those of the first 'period of concealment' when their public
identities remained hidden, to the Imam-caliphs of the illustrious
Fatimid dynasty, and those of the Alamut period, up to the Aga
Khans of the modern period. The Ismaili Imams mines the rich
scholarship of the developing field of Ismaili Studies, providing a
simple and clear resource for the general reader, as well as a
handy reference guide for scholars. This copiously illustrated book
offers a snapshot of the lives, events, and legacies of all 49
Imams, and through them, of the Ismaili community's storied past.
