520 _a"The History of the Assassins: Derived from Oriental Sources" by the Chevalier Joseph von Hammer is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This work delves into the enigmatic sect of the Assassins, a branch of the Ismailites, examining their origins, beliefs, and significant historical implications throughout the centuries. The author seeks to illuminate not only the societal and religious context of the Assassins but also their notorious reputation and the events that have led to their infamy. The opening of the text provides an extensive introduction to the historical and religious backdrop of the Assassins, discussing the founding of Islam, the life of Mohammed, and the subsequent emergence of various sects, particularly the Ismailites. The author emphasizes the tumultuous political landscape of the time, marked by power struggles, revolutionary factions, and conflicting religious doctrines. Throughout this section, Hammer sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the Assassins themselves, particularly through their connections to figures like Hassan Sabah and the sect's revolutionary ethos, which sought to blend political ambition with religious fervor.
