MOKANNA (al-Moqanna', the Veiled)

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 651 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MIC-MOL
MOKANNA (al-Moqanna', the Veiled) , the name given to Hakim, or `Ata, a man of unknown parentage, originally a
fuller
  in Merv, who posed as an incarnation of Deity, and headed a revolt in
Khorasan
  against the
caliph
  Mandi. For about three years he sustained himself in the
field
  against" the troops of the
caliph
  and for two years longer in his fortress of Sanam; then, reduced to straits in 779, he and his followers took poison and set
fire
  to the fortress. Much is related to his magical arts, especially of a moonlike
light
  visible for an enormous distance which he made to rise from a pit near Nakhshab. He is the hero of the first
part
  of Moore's Lalla Rookh.
