An Early Stage of Ismāʿīlī Studies: The Correspondence between Paul Kraus and Wladimir Ivanow (1934–1939, 1943)

This paper presents an annotated edition of the extant epistolary exchange between Wladimir Ivanow and Paul Kraus during the years 1934 through 1939, with an additional final letter in 1943. The letters not only provide new insights into the scholarly biographies of both scholars but also shed some new light on an early stage of Ismaʿili studies.
