1950, Maurice Gaudefroy-Demombynes, Muslim Institutions, page 40:Meanwhile the Shī'ite extremists, the Ismā'īlians, had founded, in Ifrīqiya (Tunisia), in 910, a Mahdist caliphate which transferred itself to Egypt in 969, then conquered Syria, and which claimed to control the whole body of the Shī'ites, while appearing as opponents of the Sunnite caliphs of Bagdad. But, in 1055, they fell under the dominion of Saljūqian amīrs who proclaimed themselves zealous defenders of Sunnism.
