The Exoteric Tradition of the Fatimids: Sources, Reception, and Interpretation

Al-Qadi al-Nu士man, the most prolific Fatimid jurist, was tasked with the responsibility of compiling literature that would serve as an authoritative point of reference in the burgeoning Ismaili state. It is evident that he had to have recourse to earlier hadith collections. This talk will address the historicity of these sources, how they ended up in North Africa, and what factors dictated the selection and interpretation of their material for Ismaili law and belief systems.
