Yazidi (English spelling)

Japanese: ヤジーディー(英語表記)Yazīdī
Yazidi (English spelling)
A minority group in northern Iraq. The origin of the name is unknown. They call themselves Dasin. They speak a dialect of Kurdish, but use Arabic in religious ceremonies. They formed as a group with a unique religion that blended the doctrines, rituals, and magical beliefs of Islam (especially Shiite and Islamic mysticism), Christianity (especially Nestorianism), Zoroastrianism, and other religions. The Ottoman Empire recognized their existence by granting their chief a sanjak (province) in northern Iraq. They believe in the existence of an angel (Malak Tawus) symbolized by a peacock, and value pilgrimages to the tomb of Sheikh 'Adi, who is identified with the angel, but they have been accused of being devil worshippers.

イラク北部にいる少数民。呼称の由来は不明。自称はダーシン。クルド語の方言を話すが,宗教儀礼ではアラビア語を用いる。イスラム(ことにシーア派やイスラム神秘主義),キリスト教(ことにネストリウス派),ゾロアスター教などの教義,儀礼と呪術信仰とが混交した独特の宗教をもつ集団として形成されてきた。オスマン帝国は,その首長に北イラクの一サンジャク(県)を与えることによって,その存在を認めた。クジャクに象徴される天使(マラク・ターウース)の存在を信じ,またそれと同一視されるシャイフ・アディーの墓への巡礼を重んじるが,悪魔崇拝者という非難を受けてきた。
