The Banquet of the Brethren: An Ismaili Guide to Spiritual Hermeneutics

Part 1 A Persian critical edition of Nasir-i Khusraw’s Khwan al-ikhwan

By: Rahim Gholami

I.B. Tauris in association with the Institute of Ismaili Studies The Ismaili missionary and poet, Nasir-i Khusraw (d. after 1070), wrote Khwan al-ikhwan (The Banquet of the Brethren) when he was living in his remote mountain refuge of Yumgan in Badakhshan. A work of philosophical theology, it consists of a sequence of dynamic arguments for divine unicity (tawhid), the authority of the Prophet Muhammad, his legatee, 'Ali b. Abi Talib, and his descendants, the imams from the line of Isma'il b. Ja'far al-Sadiq. This new edition is based on two extant manuscripts of Khwan al-ikhwan making it a more comprehensive resource. Written in Persian, Khwan al-ikhwan includes a precis of ideas found in a work by an earlier missionary, Abu Ya'qub al-Sijistani (d. ca. 971), the Kitab al-Yanabi', which Nasir-i Khusraw recast and then extended in 100 chapters. The current publication consists of a new Persian critical edition of the text, with an introduction that discusses Khwan al-ikhwan in the context of both Nasir-i Khusraw's other works and al-Sijistani's Kitab al-Yanabi, in addition to notes throughout. The book is an important example of Ismaili theology and a reflection of the learning of the age including the conception of a geo-centric cosmos, Aristotelian physics, and Neoplatonic philosophy, which greatly influenced the Ismaili missionaries (or da'is) of the Iranian lands. The editorial apparatus in this edition brings Khwan al-ikhwan to an even wider readership advancing the field of Ismaili Studies.

Deep Learning for Engineers

By: Tariq M. Arif,Md Adilur Rahim

Deep Learning for Engineers introduces the fundamental principles of deep learning along with an explanation of the basic elements required for understanding and applying deep learning models. As a comprehensive guideline for applying deep learning models in practical settings, this book features an easy-to-understand coding structure using Python and PyTorch with an in-depth explanation of four typical deep learning case studies on image classification, object detection, semantic segmentation, and image captioning. The fundamentals of convolutional neural network (CNN) and recurrent neural network (RNN) architectures and their practical implementations in science and engineering are also discussed. This book includes exercise problems for all case studies focusing on various fine-tuning approaches in deep learning. Science and engineering students at both undergraduate and graduate levels, academic researchers, and industry professionals will find the contents useful.
