Nicolas Siouffi was a Kurdish Yazidi, and later French citizen and Vice-Consul at Mosul, remembered for his study of surviving Sabians - a monotheistic religion mentioned in the Quran - Études sur la religion des Soubbas ou Sabéens, leurs dogmes, leurs moeurs. Siouffi claimed to have identified 4,000 Sabians in the Soubbhas. This was well received by the theosophist G. R. S. Mead, but received highly critical reviews from scholars, accusing Siouffi of ignorance and his teacher of dishonesty.
