Description

(Part of an) Ismāʿīlī text on creed. The preserved text establishes the genealogy of Ismaʿīlī Imāms from Jaʿfar al-Ṣādiq to al-Mustanṣir with their full names and seeks intercession on their behalf. It also lists other names and places and provides historical details about them. Overall, it seems like an introductory faith manual for an adherent. The text in the center is a tradition related by Prophet Muḥammad on the Mahdī, parts of the text match a text from "Biḥār al-Anwār (http://surl.li/zlpcqk)". YU/AE.
