Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Paperback. 8vo. (18 x 12 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 80 p. Probably taken from a volume. Minor wear on spine. Light fading on pages. Otherwise a very good copy. This interesting, very rare, and also pseudo-historical first book penned specifically on the Yezîdî people by an Ottoman statesman, initially prepared as a report and then published in 1912, before WWI in Ottoman Cairo. One of only three written Eastern sources about this interesting community that has been subject to extremely controversial approaches throughout history. The first is the travel corpus of Evliya Çelebi, the second is 'Abede-i Iblis', and the third is "Al-Yazidiyya Kadîmen wa Hadisen", which was published in Arabic in Beirut in 1934. Yezîdîs, a member of a Kurdish religious minority found primarily in northern Iraq, southeastern Turkey, northern Syria, the Caucasus region and parts of Iran. The Yezîdî religion includes elements of ancient Iranian religions as well as elements of Judaism, Nestorian Christianity and Islam. Although scattered and probably numbering merely between 200,000 and 1,000,000, the Yezîdîs have a well-organized society, with a chief sheikh as the supreme religious head and an emir, or prince, as the secular head. The origins of the Yezîdî faith can be traced to areas of the Kurdish mountains of northern Iraq where pockets of devotion to the fallen Umayyad dynasty persisted long after the death of the last Umayyad caliph, the half-Kurdish Marwan II, in 750. Some descendants of the dynasty settled in the area, further encouraging the development of mystical traditions in which the Umayyad lineage was prominently figured. In the early 12th century, Sheikh 'Adî ibn Musâfir, a Sufi and a descendant of the Umayyads, settled in Lâlish, north of Mosul, and began a Sufi order known as the Adwiyyah. Although his own teachings were strictly orthodox, the beliefs of his followers soon blended with local traditions. A distinct Yezîdî community living in the environs of Mosul appears in historical sources as early as the middle of the 12th century. This book includes descriptions of the Yezîdîs , albeit all the prejudices within it, on their geography, origins, mythology, religions, cosmogony, etc. The book has a long chapter on Yezîdîs' chief divine Malak ?âûs [or, Tavus] ("Peacock Angel"). Malak Taus has often been identified by outsiders with the Judeo-Christian figure of Satan, causing the Yezîdîs to be inaccurately described as "Devil worshippers", as seen in this pseudo-historical book as well.

brossura In tempi in cui sempre più persone e poteri dimostrano di confondere il Male con il Bene, assume vitale importanza il fare Luce sopra tanti, troppi secoli di oscurantismo e superstizione, pregiudizio ed ignoranza. Non è ancora troppo tardi. Ma occorre iniziare a capire come stanno davvero le cose. In queste pagine si affronta il Male in ogni suo aspetto, insegnando a distinguere fra i tanti tipi di satanismo, nonché la loro storia e tutti gli aspetti esoterici. Vengono spiegati anche i culti magici che spesso sono scambiati ingiustamente per satanismo e le psicosette il cui potere è diventato tale da minacciare gli stessi governi che non riescono più a contrastarle. Ed è un libro completo poiché approfondisce anche la storia delle varie divinità, la magia animica, nonché la Kabbalah nera e la demonologia, informazioni senza cui non sarebbe possibile comprendere il satanismo moderno né la differenza fra male assoluto e male relativo di cui il XXI secolo è permeato.

brossura Le maledizioni sataniche sono una terribile realtà in questo mondo satanizzato e possono colpire persone di qualsiasi classe sociale. Le sofferenze dovute alle "maledizioni" sono un fatto obiettivo e indiscutibile; spesso sono omologabili a malattie gravissime che si possono protrarre per anni. È doveroso, quindi, che una persona intelligente si armi contro le maledizioni: tanti si salvano perché sanno pregare o perché c'è qualcuno che prega per loro anche se non lo sanno. In questo libro scopriamo come difenderci dalle maledizioni e quali sono le preghiere più efficaci da recitare.

ill., br. Uno dei massimi esperti italiani di demonologia, Renzo Lavatori, chiarisce la verità sulla figura di Satana, l'angelo del male, secondo la rivelazione biblica e la dottrina della Chiesa. Il libro vuole mettere chiarezza e ordine su un tema delicato e complesso, in un momento storico di piena confusione. Chi è Satana? Cosa fa e qual è il suo potere? Che posto gli compete? Queste alcune delle domande alle quali l'autore offre una risposta puntuale e rigorosa, attraverso l'analisi delle fonti antiche e moderne e offrendo ai lettori una panoramica sulle posizioni dei teologi contemporanei. Attraverso lo studio di Satana si conferma la visione positiva dell'uomo, al centro della quale emerge l'opera salvifica del Cristo, il Verbo incarnato, morto e risorto, che mostra come il bene prevalga sul male, la vita sulla morte e il "mysterium amoris" sul "mysterium iniquitatis".

br. San Giovanni Paolo II rilevava: «Alla vittoria di Cristo sul diavolo partecipa la Chiesa: Cristo, infatti, ha dato ai suoi discepoli il potere di scacciare i demoni». Gli esorcismi sono presenti fin dagli albori del cristianesimo. Anche la storia recente è piena di casi di persone ritenute «possedute» da entità demoniache. Alcuni sono stati d'ispirazione per film di successo. Molto utile per tutti i credenti odierni è questo libro che l'angelologo don Marcello Stanzione ha scritto sulla figura degli esorcisti cattolici perché il loro preziosissimo servizio ecclesiale possa essere sempre più conosciuto e stimato. Nella storia della Chiesa si trovano non pochi esorcisti beatificati oppure canonizzati. Sono qui presentate le storie e le opere di alcuni esorcisti italiani che hanno operato con grande spirito di sacrificio e preghiera. Fra questi ricordiamo mons. Alfonso Commod, don Leone Iorio, padre Candido Amantini, don Giuseppe Tommaselli, padre Salvatore Vico, padre Francesco Bamonte e l'esorcista per eccellenza, don Gabriele Amorth.
