«Hashasiler: Efsaneler ve Gercekler» (The Assassins: Myths and Realities) translated to Arabic. A study by Turkish researcher and academic Ayse Atici Arayancan, a specialist in the history of esoteric movements in the Seljuk Empire, reveals the truth about the legends told about Hassan-i Sabbah (d.1124 ad), based on historical documents.

«Legends and fabricated tales about Hassan-i Sabbah and the Ismailis persist to this day, portraying them as mysterious and mythical. Their history, told between fact and legend, has been the subject of films and novels. It can be said that most of what is told about the Assassins is imaginary and far removed from historical truth.»
