Nasir al-Din Tusi, the renowned Shi'i scholar of the 13th century, produced a range of writings in different fields of learning under Ismaili patronage and later under the Mongols. This is a new English translation of his Rawda-yi taslim - the single most important Ismaili text from the Alamut period. Here the Persian and English texts are published together for the first time to produce a work of enormous value to students of Islamic theology and philosophy. The book contains an introduction by Professor Hermann Landolt and philosophical commentary by Professor Christian Jambet, who has produced a French translation of this text.

Industry Reviews

'The translation of the Rawda is smooth-flowing and fastidious...Badakhchani's ability to render difficult Persian and Arabic constructions into readable English is particularly noteworthy...' The Muslim World Book Review '...an important contribution to the growing body of Islamic philosophical texts in English...' The Muslim World Book Review MELA NOTES '...should most certainly find a home on the shelves of any collection with even a modicum of holdings on Ismaili studies.'
