Tradition and Survival: A Bibliographical Survey of Early Shi´ite ... الإنجليزية 2003

Featuring over 200 key thinkers and spanning three centuries, this is a comprehensive survey of early ShiYi literature.

Each entry includes information on further reading for the figure in question, in addition to detailed footnotes and a full bibliography. Hossein Modarressi is Professor of Near Eastern Studies at the University of Princeton; Senior Scholar of Shi'ite Studies in the School of the International and Public Affairs at Columbia University; and Golestaneh Fellow in Islamic Studies at St. Antony's College, Oxford.
