| Summary | "Devil Worship: The Sacred Books and Traditions of the Yezidiz" by Isya Joseph is a scholarly account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the Yezidi religion, often misunderstood and referred to as "Devil-Worship," through a detailed examination of its sacred texts and traditional practices. The author aims to clarify the beliefs and unique characteristics of the Yezidis, an ethno-religious group primarily residing in the Middle East. The beginning of the text provides insights into the origins and significance of the Yezidi sacred books, primarily the "Kitâb al-Jilwah" (Book of Revelation) and "Maṣḥaf Rêš" (Black Book), including their teachings and narratives. It introduces key figures in Yezidi theology, such as Melek Ṭâ´ûs, who plays a critical role in Yezidi cosmology and is often mischaracterized by outsiders. The text also outlines the historical context of the Yezidi sect, its customs, and the beliefs surrounding their religious identities, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of their traditions throughout the rest of the work.
