List of patriarchs of the Church of the East

January 21, 2023

The Patriarch of the Church of the East (also known as Patriarch of Babylon, Patriarch of the East, the Catholicos-Patriarch of the East or the Grand Metropolitan of the East)[1][2][3] is the patriarch, or leader and head bishop (sometimes referred to as Catholicos or universal leader) of the Church of the East. The position dates to the early centuries of Christianity within the Sassanid Empire, and the church has been known by a variety of names, including the Church of the East, Nestorian Church, the Persian Church, the Sassanid Church, or East Syrian.[4] In the 16th and 17th century the Church, by now restricted to its original Assyrian homeland in Upper Mesopotamia, experienced a series of splits, resulting in a series of competing patriarchs and lineages. Today, the three principal churches that emerged from these splits, the Assyrian Church of the East, Ancient Church of the East and the Chaldean Catholic Church, each have their own patriarch, the Patriarch of the Assyrian Church of the East, the Patriarch of the Ancient Church of the East and the Patriarch of Baghdad of the Chaldeans, respectively.

According to Church legend, the Apostleship of Edessa (Chaldea) is alleged to have been founded by Shimun Keepa (Saint Peter) (33–64),[5] Thoma Shlikha, (Saint Thomas), Tulmay (St. Bartholomew the Apostle) and of course Mar Addai (St. Thaddeus) of the Seventy disciples. Saint Thaddeus was martyred c.66 AD.

Early bishops

Bishops of Seleucia-Ctesiphon

Around 280, visiting bishops consecrated Papa bar Aggai as Bishop of Seleucia-Ctesiphon, thereby establishing the succession.[12] With him, heads of the church took the title Catholicos.

Metropolitans of Seleucia-Ctesiphon

Isaac was recognised as 'Grand Metropolitan' and Primate of the Church of the East at the Synod of Seleucia-Ctesiphon in 410. The acts of this Synod were later edited by the Patriarch Joseph (552–567) to grant him the title of Catholicos as well. This title for Patriarch Isaac in fact only came into use towards the end of the fifth century.

Catholicoi of Seleucia-Ctesiphon

With Dadisho, the significant disagreement on the dates of the Catholicoi in the sources start to converge. In 424, under Mar Dadisho I, the Church of the East declared itself independent of all the Church of the West (Emperor Justinian's Pentarchy); thereafter, its Catholicoi began to use the additional title of Patriarch.[12] During his reign, the Council of Ephesus in 431 denounced Nestorianism.

In 544 the Synod of Mar Aba I adopted the ordinances of the Council of Chalcedon.[14]

From 628, the Maphrian also began to use the title Catholicos. See the List of Maphrians for details.

In 775, the seat transferred from Seleucia-Ctesiphon to Baghdad, the recently established capital of the ʿAbbasid caliphs.[15]

Patriarchal lines from the schism of 1552 until 1830

Further information: Schism of 1552

By the Schism of 1552 the Church of the East was divided into many splinters but two main factions, of which one entered into full communion with the Catholic Church and the other remained independent. A split in the former line in 1681 resulted in a third faction.

The Eliya line (1) in Alqosh ended in 1804, having lost most of its followers to Yohannan VIII Hormizd, a member of the same family, who became a Catholic and in 1828, after the death of a rival candidate, a nephew of the last recognized patriarch of the Josephite line in Amid (3), was chosen as Catholic patriarch. Mosul then became the residence of the head of the Chaldean Catholic Church until the transfer to Baghdad in the mid-20th century. For subsequent Chaldean Catholic patriarchs, see List of Chaldean Catholic patriarchs of Baghdad.

The Shemʿon line (2) remained the only line not in communion with the Catholic Church. In 1976 it officially adopted the name "Assyrian Church of the East".[25][26] For subsequent patriarchs in this line, see List of patriarchs of the Assyrian Church of the East.

Numeration of the Eliya line patriarchs

Since patriarchs of the Eliya line bore the same name (Syriac: ܐܠܝܐ / Elīyā) without using any pontifical numbers, later researchers were faced with several challenges, while trying to implement long standing historiographical practice of individual numeration. First attempts were made by early researchers during the 18th and 19th century, but their numeration was later (1931) revised by Eugène Tisserant, who also believed that during the period from 1558 to 1591 there were two successive Eliya patriarchs, numbered as VI (1558-1576) and VII (1576-1591), and in accordance with that he also assigned numbers (VIII-XIII) to their successors.[27] That numeration was accepted and maintained by several other scholars.[28][29] In 1966 and 1969, the issue was reexamined by Albert Lampart and William Macomber, who concluded that in the period from 1558 to 1591 there was only one patriarch (Eliya VI), and in accordance with that appropriate numbers (VII-XII) were reassigned to his successors.[30][31] In 1999, same conclusion was reached by Heleen Murre, who presented additional evidence in favor of the new numeration.[32] Revised numeration was accepted in modern scholarly works,[33][34][35][36][37][38][39] with one notable exception.

Tisserant′s numeration is still advocated by David Wilmshurst, who does acknowledge the existence of only one Eliya patriarch during the period from 1558 to 1591, but counts him as Eliya "VII" and his successors as "VIII" to "XIII", without having any existing patriarch designated as Eliya VI in his works,[40][17][41] an anomaly noticed by other scholars,[36][38][39] but left unexplained and uncorrected by Wilmshurst, even after the additional affirmation of proper numbering, by Samuel Burleson and Lucas van Rompay, in the "Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage" (2011).[37]

followers to Yohannan VIII Hormizd a member of the same family who became a Catholic and in 1828 after the death of a rival candidate a nephew of the last recognized patriarch of the Josephite line in Amid 3 was chosen as Catholic patriarch Mosul then became the residence of the head of the Chaldean Catholic Church until the transfer to Baghdad in the mid 20th century For subsequent Chaldean Catholic patriarchs see List of Chaldean Catholic patriarchs of Baghdad The Shemʿ on line 2 remained the only line not in communion with the Catholic Church In 1976 it officially adopted the name Assyrian Church of the East 25 26 For subsequent patriarchs in this line see List of patriarchs of the Assyrian Church of the East Numeration of the Eliya line patriarchs Edit Since patriarchs of the Eliya line bore the same name Syriac ܐܠܝܐ Eliya without using any pontifical numbers later researchers were faced with several challenges while trying to implement long standing historiographical practice of individual numeration First attempts were made by early researchers during the 18th and 19th century but their numeration was later 1931 revised by Eugene Tisserant who also believed that during the period from 1558 to 1591 there were two successive Eliya patriarchs numbered as VI 1558 1576 and VII 1576 1591 and in accordance with that he also assigned numbers VIII XIII to their successors 27 That numeration was accepted and maintained by several other scholars 28 29 In 1966 and 1969 the issue was reexamined by Albert Lampart and William Macomber who concluded that in the period from 1558 to 1591 there was only one patriarch Eliya VI and in accordance with that appropriate numbers VII XII were reassigned to his successors 30 31 In 1999 same conclusion was reached by Heleen Murre who presented additional evidence in favor of the new numeration 32 Revised numeration was accepted in modern scholarly works 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 with one notable exception Tisserant s numeration is still advocated by David Wilmshurst who does acknowledge the existence of only one Eliya patriarch during the period from 1558 to 1591 but counts him as Eliya VII and his successors as VIII to XIII without having any existing patriarch designated as Eliya VI in his works 40 17 41 an anomaly noticed by other scholars 36 38 39 but left unexplained and uncorrected by Wilmshurst even after the additional affirmation of proper numbering by Samuel Burleson and Lucas van Rompay in the Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage 2011 37 See also EditList of patriarchs of
