Find out more about our literary heritage in "An Anthology of Ismaili Literature: A Shi‘i Vision of Islam".

Portuguese

The word ‘anthology’ comes from the Greek for ‘flower-gathering’. "An Anthology of Ismaili Literature: A Shi‘i Vision of Islam" is the first collection of the literary ‘flowers’ of the Ismaili tradition, offering up to its readers glimpses of a literary tradition as rich and varied as it is little-known. The extracts, drawn from all periods of the Ismailis’ pre-modern history, reflect the plural and multi-ethnic history of the community and display a remarkable diversity in style and genre.
