    $\begingroup$ While not identical, it seems close enough not to inspire a separate response from me, at least. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ I think the questions are fairly different, if one is really about Shimura curves and the other really about general Shimura varieties. If I have time in the next day or so, I will try to answer this (asuming it remains open). $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ The subject of Shimura curves is a very special case of the subject of Shimura varieties; each has it's own focus, range of techniques, etc. Perhaps the question is broad, but I don't think it is any broader than many other questions. The answer to how do I learn about Shimura varieties'' will have very little in common with how do I learn Shimura curves''. Thus I don't understand the judgement of those labelling it an exact duplicate, and have voted to reopen. $\endgroup$
