Abstract

This paper provides critical editions of five unstudied Imāmī credal texts written between the late fifth/eleventh and early seventh/thirteenth centuries. The paper begins with an account of the importance of this period, as it witnessed the beginning of a pivotal turn in Imāmī thought from Bahshamite viewpoints to those of Abū l-Ḥusayn al-Baṣrī. The historical trajectory of this doctrinal shift has been well explored, but it has rarely been portrayed through textual evidence from credal texts. The paper also discusses the authorship and production dates of these five treatises.
