The representation of al-Jadd, al-Fatḥ and al-Khayāl in the Ismaili literature: some examples and further remarks

The aim of the paper is to provide further remarks on the spiritual triad al-Jadd, al-Fath and al-Khayal, that played a relevant role on both cosmological and gnoseological levels, on the basis of some testimonies dating back to the Fatimide period, so as to analyze how the triad was represented in the Ismaili literature of that time.
