Kitab al-Bakurah
(Kitab al-Bakurah al-Sulaymaniyah fi Kashf Asrar al-Diyanah al-Nusayriyah)
An important source for the study of Nusayrism in modern times.
Offshoots of the Isma'ilis, Nusayris represent the remarkable cult of Alawism, the Asian Mystery crystallised c. 970 CE in the da'wah of the disciple of the Bab of the 11th Shi'i Imam Hasan al-Askari. This work provides a description and refutation of the Nusayri religion according to Sulayman Efendi al-Adhani (b. 1834), a Nusayri of Adana (south Turkey) who apostasised to Christianity.
