thumb|A page from Yazidi Book of Revelation manuscript
The Yazidi Book of Revelation (, ) is the title of a Kurdish-language book which is assumed to be one of two sacred books of Yazidis, the other being the Yazidi Black Book (), which describes Yazidi cosmogony. However, the authenticity of its sacredness has not been confirmed. The book presents itself as the words of Tawûsî Melek, wherein he allocates the different responsibilities, blessings and misfortunes as he desires and which humans have no say in.
Discovery and authenticity
Shaykh ʿAbdallāh al-Ratabkī (d. 1746) mentioned a sacred Yazidi text called Jilwa and he ascribed its authorship to Sheikh Adi ibn Musafir. This was echoed by R. H. W. Empson in 1928, who moreover stated that the book was written by Sheikh Adi to Fakhr ad-Din ibn Adi. R. Frank, however, in his discussion of the Jilwa in 1911, denied this.
A translation of the Yazidi Book of Revelation and Yazidi Black Book was done by Alpheus Andrus in 1891, and later by Edward Granville Browne in 1895. Translations were also made by R. Y. Ebied, M. J. L. Young and Isya Joseph. Joseph stated that his translation was made from the original Kurdish book, which he had discovered. Alphonse Mingana asserted in 1916 that all hitherto translations were based on inauthentic documents. He moreover states that Shamir could have been the author of the Yazidi Book of Revelation.
