Paulicians or Pavlikeni also known as Tazigan and Tsabis or Alevis (Turkish language: Aleviler or Alevilik) are adherents of an endogamic religious community which spread abroad from the territory of the Byzantine Empire.

They translated the Evangelical Lectionary into Arabic for the first time.

They can be described as Edumean-Ishmaelite Messianic Noahides for though being neither Edom nor Ishmael they share characteristics of both groups. This is the form of Noahide Judaism that Isaac Sangari introduced to Eastern Europe during the reign of the Khazarian Khaan Bulan.

Their religion was inroduced to Europe during the reign of Emperor Heraclius when the Bulgarian Khaan Kubrat as baptised into the faith. Khaan Kubrat's Bulgarian descendants became the first 7th day Baptists in Europe. Their movement became so strong that Khaan Boris I of Bulgaria was able to declare this Christian faith as the official religion of the First a Bulgarian Empire in 864CE. They resisted both Byzantine and Latin influence and expelling their clerics from Bulgaria in 893. The Moravians were also converted to their faith during this time. All this triggered a long war with Byzatium as a result until 927. After the war they were labelled as Bogomil Heretics and hunted down but had managed to establish Bosuna as their new base by 952. Losing many people to Bosnia, the Bulgarian Empire collapsed in 1018 and the Bosniak "Gusari" promoted their Peterine Noahide Faith which came to be known as Catharism as far as Milan.

The Vatican declared a crusade against the several times but they survived among rebellious Hungarians who inspired by the Slavonic translation of the Bible translated the Hussite Bible too. Their tradition was later also adopted by the Anabaptists who promoted Germanic translations of the Bible.
