Описание: Charles Summers has compiled a masterful genealogy of the Shain family through five generations. Of particular interest to him are the many connections with the Kentucky Shakers. His work with the genealogy draws on many primary sources, not only the usual genealogy sources, but also the records kept by the Shakers. His notes for each of the people involved contain much more than the basic genealogical facts in that Summers has included the results of his research into each of these individuals to flesh out their lives. Overall it provides a much fuller picture of the Shains and the Shakertown Shakers than one might expect from a genealogy. As an added benefit, Summers has included many short chapters devoted to different facets of the Shakers, which add depth to his exploration of the Shain family.Randall L.

Описание:

I.B.Tauris in association with the Institute of Ismaili Studies

Emerging from a period of long seclusion, the leader of the burgeoning community of Ismaili Shi'i Muslims was declared the first Fatimid Imam-caliph in the year 909. Abd Allah al-Mahdi founded the only sustained Shi'i dynasty (909-1171) to rule over substantial parts of the medieval Muslim world, rivalling both the Umayyads of Spain and the Abbasids. At its peak, the Fatimid Empire extended from the Atlantic shores of North Africa, across the southern Mediterranean and down both sides of the Red Sea, covering also Mecca and Medina. This accessible history, the first of two volumes, tells the story of the birth and expansion of the Fatimid Empire in the 10th century. Drawing upon eyewitness accounts, Shainool Jiwa introduces the first four generations of Fatimid Imam-caliphs -- al-Mahdi, al-Qa'im, al-Mansur, and al-Mu'izz -- as well as the people who served them and those they struggled against. Readers are taken on a journey through the Fatimid capitals of Qayrawan, Mahdiyya, and Mansuriyya and on to the founding of Cairo. In this lively and comprehensive introduction, readers will discover various milestones in Fatimid history and the political and cultural achievements that continue to resonate today.
