Review Quotes:
"Through the variety of subjects covered, the up-to-dateness of their content, and the formal quality of the book as a whole, there is no doubt that this open access and richly illustrated volume ... will provide an excellent basis for future research not only in the field of Ismaili studies stricto sensu, but also in Islamic studies more generally." --Bulletin of the School of African and Oriental Studies
