The Ismailis are well known for their intellectual activities and contribution to knowledge both before and after the declaration of the Fatimid state in North Africa in 909 CE, whether through sessions at the Fatimid court or at training sessions in different circles. The Egyptian period of the Fatimid dynasty witnessed great advances in scientific learning, which played a role in influencing state policies and strategies. These were supervised firstly by the Imam-Caliphs and then the Chief 顿腻士墨, who was responsible for directing scientific activities, supervising the 鈥榟ouses of wisdom鈥�, overseeing the various 诲腻士墨s, disseminating knowledge in the Fatimid capital of Cairo, and playing the role of political advocate for the Fatimid Imam-Caliphs.
The second period of Ismaili intellectual development occurred during the Niz膩r墨 period in Iran and Syria. The vizier Al-Af岣峚l b. Badr al-Jam膩l墨 and his sister supported al-Musta士l墨鈥檚 claim to the Fatimid throne, which led to the exclusion of Musta士l墨鈥檚 elder brother, the heir apparent, Niz膩r. The latter鈥檚 supporters established the Niz膩r墨 dynasty in Iran, which played an important role in preserving the cultural and religious heritage that had been dismantled by political conflicts. The Nizari Ismailis were also able to revive Fatimid intellectual traditions in their castles and established libraries and astronomical observatories. This was a unique period for the Ismailis who played a significant role in the political scene in Iran, Iraq, and the Levant, especially during the Crusades.听
