(詳細はYazidi religion written in the style of a holy book in the Yazidi language (the Kurmanji dialect of the Kurdish language), the other being the ''Book of Revelation'' (''Kitêba Cilwe''). It is claimed that the original text of the ''Book of Revelation'' is kept in the Yazidi village of Ba'idn and the original text of the ''Black Book'' is kept in the village of Qasr 'tzz at-Din Scholars generally agree that the ''Book of Revelation'' and the ''Black Book'', which were published in 1911 and 1913, are 'forgeries' in the sense they were written by non-Yazidis in response to Western travelers’ and scholars’ interest in the Yazidi religion. Nonetheless they do reflect authentic Yezidi traditions.〔(Encyclopaedia Iranica:Yazidis )〕 The actual core texts of the religion that exist today are the hymns known as ''qawls''.〔 == Contents == The ''Black Book'' claims to originate when the Lord descended Black Mountain. It is not divided into chapters and is longer than the ''Book of Revelation''. The first half of it contains a creation myth, beginning with the creation of a white pearl and Melek Taus, 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 the names of ancient kings who belonged to the Yazidi community. Next comes a statement of food taboos of the Yazidis, prohibitions connected with personal hygiene and verbal taboos. The discussion then reverts to the subject of ancient Yazidi kings, and the Book concludes with another account of the Creation, which diverges quite considerably from the first. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yazidi Black Book」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
