Gabriel Of Basra
Gabriel of Baṣra (fl. 884–893) was a bishop and jurist of the Church of the East. Little is known of Gabriel's life other than that he was metropolitan of Baṣra in 884 and 893. Sometime in the last quarter of the ninth century, he compiled the first nomocanon (collection of canon law) in the history of the Church of the East. Only fragments of the original Syriac survive, but the work can be largely reconstructed because of its extensive quotation and citation in the Arabic collection ''Fiqh al-Naṣrāniyya'' of Ibn al-Ṭayyib (11th century) and the Syriac ''Nomokanon'' of ʿAbdishoʿ bar Brikha (14th century). Hubert Kaufhold performed the work of reconstruction, publishing it with a German translation in ''Die Rechtssammlung des Gabriel von Baṣra'' (1976). The original title of the work is unknown. Sebastian Brock calls it ''Collection of Judgements''. Gabriel's nomocanon is structured in the form of questions and answers, although this is a purely formal device for in ...

Church Of The East
The Church of the East ( syc, ܥܕܬܐ ܕܡܕܢܚܐ, ''ʿĒḏtā d-Maḏenḥā'') or the East Syriac Church, also called the Church of Seleucia-Ctesiphon, the Persian Church, the Assyrian Church, the Babylonian Church or the Nestorian Church, was an Eastern Christian church of the East Syriac Rite, based in Mesopotamia. It was one of three major branches of Eastern Christianity that arose from the Christological controversies of the 5th and 6th centuries, alongside the Oriental Orthodox Churches and the Chalcedonian Church. During the early modern period, a series of schisms gave rise to rival patriarchates, sometimes two, sometimes three. Since the latter half of the 20th century, three churches in Iraq claim the heritage of the Church of the East. Meanwhile, the East Syriac churches in India claim the heritage of the Church of the East in India. The Church of the East organized itself in 410 as the national church of the Sasanian Empire through the Council of Seleu ...

Syro-Roman Law Book
The Syro-Roman law book (or Syro-Roman code) is a compilation of secular legal texts from the eastern Roman Empire originally composed in Greek in the late 5th century, but surviving only in Syriac translation. As a work of Roman law, the original language of many of its legal texts would have been Latin. The earliest Syriac manuscript (British Library, Add MS 14528) is usually dated to the 6th century, although a date as late as the 8th century has been argued for. In the 20th century, several later Syriac manuscripts from the 13th–17th centuries came to light. One of these identifies the compiler as a certain Ambrosius, a contemporary of an emperor Valentinian, probably Valentinian III, but this information is not reliable. Arabic and Armenian translations of the Syriac also survive, as does a Georgian translation made from the Armenian in the 18th century.Gerhard Thür"Syro‐Roman law book" in Roger S.

Nestorians In The Abbasid Caliphate
Nestorianism is a term used in Christian theology and Church history to refer to several mutually related but doctrinarily distinct sets of teachings. The first meaning of the term is related to the original teachings of Christian theologian Nestorius (d. 450), who promoted specific doctrines in the fields of Christology and Mariology. The second meaning of the term is much wider, and relates to a set of later theological teachings, that were traditionally labeled as Nestorian, but differ from the teachings of Nestorius in origin, scope and terminology. The ''Oxford English Dictionary'' defines Nestorianism as "The doctrine of Nestorius, patriarch of Constantinople (appointed in 428), by which Christ is asserted to have had distinct human and divine persons." Original Nestorianism is attested primarily by works of Nestorius, and also by other theological and historical sources that are related to his teachings in the fields of Mariology and Christology. His theology was influe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

People From Basra
A person (plural, : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal obligation, legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its us ...

Shemʿon Of Rev Ardashir
Simeon of Rev Ardashir (7th or 8th century), whose name in Syriac is Shemʿon, was a Persian priest and jurist of the Church of the East. He served as the metropolitan bishop of Fars with his seat at Rev Ardashir. His dates are uncertain, as is his identification with the metropolitan of the same name known from a pair of letters. Treatise Simeon wrote a treatise, the ''Law of Inheritance'', on hereditary law and family law in Middle Persian. The Persian version is lost, but a Syriac translation survives, made by an anonymous monk of Beth Qatraye (Eastern Arabia) at the request of a priest named Simeon. This may be a contemporary translation. The monk notes that the work was difficult to translate. A single copy of the Syriac translation is found in the manuscript in the Vatican manuscript Borg.sir.81, itself a 19th-century copy of a lost manuscript from Alqosh (no. 169). Simeon was sometimes quoted in Arabic works, such as by the Patriarch Timothy I. These Arabic extracts were col ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ishoʿbokht
Ishoʿbokht (late 7th or late 8th century) was a Persian legal scholar, Christian theologian and philosopher. He is known through his writings and a few references to them. His dates are not known precisely and little can be said of his life other than that he served as the metropolitan bishop of Fars. Theologian Ishoʿbokht was a member of the Church of the East. His native language was almost certainly Persian and he may have been a native of Rev Ardashir, the seat of the metropolitans of Fars. According to the 14th-century catalogue of the church's writers drawn up by ʿAbdishoʿ bar Brikha, he wrote three works: a book called ''On This Universe'', a book of law and a treatise on ''shūdāʿ aʾeras'', i.e., the meaning of the winds. Although only the book of law survives, the first work is cited as a source in the ''Book of Examples and Their Study'', a 9th-century Islamic treatise on the teleological argument, which is ascribed to al-Jāḥiẓ.
