Modern scholarship in Ismaili Studies was initiated in the 1930s when scholars began to systematically study Ismaili manuscripts which had been recovered from Syria, Yemen, Central Asia and India. Successive generations of scholars have maintained this tradition and continue to contribute to what we know about Ismailism in both its pre-modern and modern contexts. In 1977, The Institute of Ismaili Studies was established with the mandate of preserving and elucidating the historical, literary and philosophical heritage of Shi‘ism in general and its Ismaili tradition in particular. Over the last several years, much of this research has been made available through the contributions of IIS faculty to a wide range of encyclopaedias in a series of languages.
