Yazidi Black Book


The Yazidi Black Book, the "Book of Revelation", is one of the two holy books of the Yazidi Religion. The book is believed to have originated when the Lord descended Black Mountain. Both of the Yazidi holy books have separate Arabic and Kurdish versions and there is evidence that strongly suggests that they were translated from an Arabic onginal.

The "Black Book" is not divided into chapters and is longer than the "Book of Revelation". The first half of it gives an account of the Creation, beginning with the creation of a white pearl and the Peacock Angel. There follows an account of the Fall (in which the forbidden comestible is wheat), and the creation of Eve after Adam has been driven from Paradise.

This is followed by an obscure statement of the names of certain ancient kings who are claimed to have belonged to the Yazidi community. Next comes a statement of certain food taboos of the Yazidis, certain prohibitions connected with personal hygiene and finally certain verbal taboos.

The discussion then reverts to the subject of ancient kings alleged to have been Yazidis, and the Book concludes with another account of the Creation, which diverges quite considerably from the first.
