Hassan-i Sabb膩h (Hasan bin Ali bin Muhammad bin Ja'far bin al-Husayn bin Muhammad bin al-Sabbah al-Himyari; c. 1050 鈥� 12 June 1124) was the founder of the Nizari Isma'ili state and its fid膩'i military group known as the Order of Assassins, often referred also as the Hashshashin.
Since Marco Polo he has been known in the West as the Old Man of the Mountain. He later seized a mountain fortress called Alamut.
Hassan is thought to have written an autobiography, which did not survive but seems to underlie the first part of an anonymous Isma'ili biography entitled Sargozasht-e Seyyedn膩. The latter is known only from quotations made by later Persian authors. Hassan also wrote a treatise, in Persian, on the doctrine of ta'l墨m, called, al-Fusul al-arba'a The text is no longer in existence, but fragments are cited or paraphrased by al-Shahrast膩n墨 and several Persian historians.
PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT, the only book more than 800 pages that I didn鈥檛 want it finish and enjoyed every single letter in it. [ Hamae hama saed ] translation 馃憣馃憦
"The Lord of Alamut," written by Zabihullah Mansouri, is a novel set in a captivating atmosphere. Although it is clearly stated at the beginning of the book that the quotes are not based on truth, the story remains highly engaging and enthralling, making it a top-tier work of fiction. However, it lacks historical accuracy for those seeking factual information. The book explores the intriguing question: Was Hassan Sabah an Iranian patriot or an Arab murderer? This is the question it endeavors to answer for the reader.
