Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A new paperback edition of the most comprehensive biography to date of the controversial Fatimid ruler'A well-researched, unbiased and engaging exposé of a melodramatic subject.'Al Ahram WeeklyOne night in the year 411/1021, the powerful ruler of the Fatimid empire, al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah, rode out of the southern gates of Cairo and was never seen again. Was the caliph murdered, or could he have decided to abandon his royal life, wandering off to live alone and anonymous Whatever the truth, the fact was that al-Hakim had literally vanished into the desert. Yet al-Hakim, though shrouded in mystery, has never been forgotten. To the Druze, he was (and is) God, and his disappearance merely indicated his reversion to non-human form. For Ismailis, al-Hakim was the sixteenth imam, descended from the Prophet, and infallible. Jews and Christians, by contrast, long remembered him as their persecutor, who ordered the destruction of many of their synagogues and churches. Using all the tools of modern scholarship, Paul Walker offers the most balanced and engaging biography yet to be published of this endlessly fascinating individual.To some, al-Hakim was God incarnate, to others an infallible imam, to still others he was a capricious tyrant. This book examines myth and fact, document and opinion, to present the most complete and detailed history yet written of the life and times of one of the medieval Islamic world's most controversial figures.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. xv, 286 pages, [8] pages : illustrations ; 23 cm. Summary:"A survey of Fatimid history and its sources, this book combines an introduction to the subject as a whole with a broad overview of Fatimid history from the time when Abu 'Abdallah al-Shi'i began his mission in North Africa, leading to the foundation of the Fatimid state in 909 C.E., until the fall of the last caliph in 1171. Its major emphasis, however, is a systematic presentation of different categories of sources relevant to the study of Fatimid history." "This comprehensive work is a valuable addition to the historiography of the Fatimids and the Muslim world and will prove essential reading for students and scholars of Islamic history."--Jacket.…

Zustand: Sehr gut. XVI, 203 S. Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - The Ismailis, among whom are the followers of the Aga Khan, rose to prominence during the fourth Islamic/tenth Christian century. They developed a remarkably successful intellectual programme to sustain and support their political activities, promoting demands of Islamic doctrine together with the then newly imported sciences from abroad. The high watermark of this intellectual movement is best illustrated in the writings of the Ismaili theoretician Abu Ya-qub al-Sijistani.

Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Zustand: FINE. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: FINE. xiv, 168pp. Sewn binding in green paper-over-board hard covers. Exceedingly clean and sharp in like DJ. 'A major Ismaili Muslim scholar and writer who flourished during the first half of the eleventh century AD, Hamid al-Din al-Kirmäni possessed a profoundly creative mind, which allowed him to master the theological, philosophical and scientific discourse of his time and to integrate this learning in numerous influential treatises on Ismaili thought. His knowledge and scholarship were on a par with the best of his contempo-raries, including the philosopher Ibn Sinä (Avicenna), with whom he shared a common scientific outlook. Al-Kirmani's career and achievements are inextricably linked to the charismatic Fatimid Ismaili caliph-imam al-Hakim bi-Amr Alläh (386 411/996-1021), whose personality and politics remain enigmatic to this day. Al-Kirmäni was already a leading figure of the Ismaili dawa (religious organisation) in Iraq and Iran, and the author of several major works, when he was summoned to the Fatimid capital of Cairo in order to address serious dissension there on theoretical issues of doctrine, which threatened to undermine the dawa in the final years of al-Häkim's reign. Paul E. Walker, an authority on Fatimid Ismaili history and thought, here provides the first systematic account in English of the life, works and accomplishments of al-Kirmãni. Particularly valuable is his penetrating analysis of the intellectual debates and arguments that arose in the Ismaili community and of their significance in the wider context of general Ismaili thought, at a time when the Fatimid state was at the height of its glory and influence in the Muslim world.'.…
