Abstract

The exact sectarian affiliation of Shahrastānī has long been a matter of serious debate. Was he possibly an adherent of the Ismaili cause? Considerable recent scholarship purports to establish a connection. The evidence consists of some off-handed remarks by his own contemporaries; what he himself has to say about the Ismailis in his Kitāb al-Milal wa-l-niḥal; and finally, a set of doctrines or analytical categories he uses in his later writings that were later adopted by Nizari Ismailis. However, an impartial look at the evidence does not support the claim that Shahrastānī was himself in any significant way an Ismaili.

在沙赫里斯坦和伊斯梅利

Shahrastānī的确切教派归属长期以来一直是一个严肃辩论的问题。他可能是伊斯玛仪派的信徒吗?最近相当多的学术研究试图建立一种联系。证据包括他同时代人的一些随口的评论;他自己在Kitāb al-Milal wa-l-niḥal中对伊斯玛仪派的看法;最后，他在后来的作品中使用的一系列理论或分析范畴，后来被尼扎里·伊斯玛仪派所采用。然而，公正地看待证据并不支持Shahrastānī本人在任何重要方面都是伊斯玛仪教徒的说法。

期刊介绍： The American Oriental Society is the oldest learned society in the United States devoted to a particular field of scholarship. The Society was founded in 1842, preceded only by such distinguished organizations of general scope as the American Philosophical Society (1743), the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1780), and the American Antiquarian Society (1812). From the beginning its aims have been humanistic. The encouragement of basic research in the languages and literatures of Asia has always been central in its tradition. This tradition has come to include such subjects as philology, literary criticism, textual criticism, paleography, epigraphy, linguistics, biography, archaeology, and the history of the intellectual and imaginative aspects of Oriental civilizations.
