Manuscripts in the Zahid 'Ali Collection
A prominent Ismaili scholar of the 20th century, Dr Zahid 'Ali passed away
in 1958, leaving behind a small number of widely acclaimed studies on the
history and doctrines of the Ismailis. Nearly forty years later, in the
autumn of 1997, the only surviving son of Dr Zahid Ali, Professor 'Abid
'Ali, generously donated to the Library of The Institute of Ismaili Studies
an exceptional collection of Arabic manuscripts inherited from his father's
collection.
