Walker, Paul E. (The Institute of Ismaili Studies, UK)
About 405/1015 Ismaili da'i Hamid al-Din al-Kirmani composed a treatise he called Lights to Illuminate the Proof of the Imamate (al-Masabih fi ithbat al-imama) in the bold hope of convincing Fakhr al-Mulk, the Shi'i wazir of the Buyids in Baghdad, to abandon the Abbasids and support the Fatimid caliph al-Hakim. This work offers a translation.
