Abstract
Was there an extensive Shii presence in Upper Egypt at the time of the Fatimids? If so, when and how did Shiism come about in that region? What brand of Shiism might this be? Faced with the lack of material evidence, in this paper I resort to the contextualised analysis of information provided in a variety of literary sources, ranging from historiographies and chronicles to travelogues and documents, to address those questions.
