Welcome to the first-ever conference on Ismaili Studies. This panel, chaired by Nader El-Bizri of the University of Sharjah, delves into esoteric interpretations of shared Islamic texts from various points of Ismaili history. Daniel De Smet explores a mysterious manuscript that may bridge Nizari and Tayyibi cosmologies. Rahim Gholami explores the layers of reality as described by Nasir-I Khusraw through the lens of signs and signifiers, forms and substance. Antonella Straface elucidates a medieval Ismaili interpretation of shari’a practices with a point-by-point comparison with exoteric interpretations by Abu Ya’qub al-Sijistani.
