This religious current, former to the Moslem Conquest of the the Middle East, was the subject of recent research, to clarify in particular the reports/ratios of the Islam former to the 8th century with the born sects Judéo-chrétien born Araméen and Syriaque S.

In its Precis of the Universal Geography (Paris 1847), Malta Brun specifies that the sabeism holds a row higher than the Polythéisme and consists in the worship of the celestial bodies, the sun, the moon and stars, either separately, or all together. And Malta Brown to add: " This very old, widespread system on all the extent of the sphere, even with Peru, mixed with all the other religions; but there does not exist any more without mixture but at some isolated tribes. Its name comes from the Sabéens or Sabiens, former people of Arabie."
