The text of the Risala al-mujiza can be found as part of a seven-volume anthology of Ismaili literature entitled Kitab al-azhar which preserves in full or in part works which would otherwise have been lost. Compiled by the prominent Bohra scholar Hasan al-Bharuchi (d. 939/1533) and written between 931/1524 and 933/1526, the second volume of the chrestomathy, where the Risala al-Mujiza is located, deals with such topics as the succession to the Fatimid Imam-caliph al-Amir (d. 524/1130), the history of the Tayyibi da‘wa in Yemen as well as questions concerning the Imamat and the appearance of the Mahdi.<p>Copied by Hibat Allah Mulla ‘Abd al-Qadir Mama Ja‘far-ji b.
