Yazidi Book of Revelation

[1] The book claims to be the words of Tawûsî Melek, wherein he allocates the different responsibilities, blessings and misfortunes as he desires and which humans have no say in.

[2] Shaykh ʿAbdallāh al-Ratabkī (d. 1746) mentioned a sacred Yazidi text called Jilwa and he ascribed its authorship to Sheikh Adi ibn Musafir.

Assyrian Jeremiah Shamir, a former monk and known manuscript dealer from Ankawa, was seemingly implicated in this affair.

Joseph claimed that his translation was made from the original Kurdish book, which he had discovered.

[1] Yazidis themselves knew of the books before Western interest that began in the 1850s, but the vast majority of them had never seen them.
