    Qasr 'tzz at-Din

    It's referenced endlessly as the village where the "Yazidi Black Book" is kept...

    But trying to find it on a map, etc., is seemingly - to me at least - impossible.

    There's a fair chance that it has numerous alternate spellings. I wonder is it Qasr 'Izz ad-Din in Tunisia?

    That's a good guess. :)

    It's hard to know though, as the faith seems to be centred in Northern Iraq - where their main prophet is buried.

    Typical wiki mess huh? If it's misspelled and that misspelling is then copied onto hundreds of websites. :/

    Actually, that's probably a stretch given the Yazidi seems to have Middle-Eastern origins.

    More googling seems to show there's little if any connection to Tunisia.

    Check this:

    Seems like the best bet is Iraq... But it's not easy to find if it's there.
