Eros and the Pearl is the first monograph devoted to the Yezidi cosmogonic myth. It is based on the author’s field research among the Yezidi people in Iraq, Turkey, Georgia, and Armenia. The author focuses on the analysis of the cosmogonic motif of Pearl and Love and, referring to various source materials, traces the presence of analogous threads in other religious traditions, esp. Yarsanism, Mandaeism, Manichaeism, Zoroastrianism, Hinduism, as well as the Greek philosophical concepts of Eros and the primordial One that influenced Gnosticism, Hermeticism, Early Christianity, and Sufism. Demonstrating the complexity of the Yezidi tradition, the author also points to Harranian ‘Sabians’ as those who may have contributed to its beliefs at the beginning of the formation of the Yezidi religion.

This is the first monograph dedicated to the Yezidi diaspora in the South Caucasus, focusing on Yezidis living in Georgia, where the first Yezidi organisation was established, the Constitution was written, the International Yezidi Theological Academy was founded, and the Yezidi Akhtiarat was proclaimed. The monograph explores the history of their migration, religion, customs, daily life, literature, media, institutions, and relations with other Yezidis, Kurds, and Georgians, based on the author’s fieldwork in Georgia, Armenia, Turkey, and Iraq, and on unique sources. It is richly illustrated with numerous photographs of Yezidi rituals, sacred objects, documents, and maps.
