The Druze, who can be traced back to eleventh-century Levant, have long intrigued scholars of the Middle East. This work reveals the remarkable Druze pantheon of semi-deities and investigates their dogmas and rituals, noting the stratification between the few Uqqal (elect wise ones) and the numerous Jahil (ignorant ones).
