This volume of Encyclopaedia Islamica is the second of a projected 16-volume publication, consisting of an abridged and edited translation of the Persian D尨irat al-Ma尪rif-i Buzurg-i Islm蘋, one of the most comprehensive sources on Islam and the Muslim world. One unique feature of this work of reference lies in the attention it gives to Shi尪i Islam and its rich and diverse heritage, which makes it complementary to other encyclopaedias. In addition to providing entries on important themes, subjects and personages in Islam generally, it offers the western reader an opportunity to appreciate the various dimensions of Shi尪i Islam, the Persian contribution to Islamic civilisation, and the spiritual dimensions of the Islamic tradition.
The Encyclopaedia Islamica is available in print and at .

Clearly the editors of ISLA have selected articles they consider will augment the existing reference sources and they have completed this selection task with acumen and skill. The work as a whole remains, however, a specialist encyclopaedia […] – or perhaps more accurately, it is an encyclopaedia for specialists […]. In that sense, it is a valuable addition […] to the reference work available at present. Perhaps its greatest merit is that it brings to an international audience a key example of and an excellent advertisement for high-quality Iranian scholarship which has hitherto been available but known only to a few.
Robert Gleave, Journal of the American Oriental Society
[T]he publication of Encyclopaedia Islamica is a notable step forward in including the Shia viewpoint in scholarship on Islam.
Mousa al-Reza Wahdati, Journal of Shia Islamic Studies
Printed on coated paper, the five volumes so far published are an impressive achievement both in production as well as in scholarship related to Persian themes.
