Ishoʿdad
Mar Ishodad of Merv ( syc, , Māri Ishoʿdād Maruzāyā; fl. AD 850) was a bishop of Hdatta and prominent theologian of the Church of the East, best known for his ''Commentaries'' on the Old and New Testaments. Life Very little is known of Ishodad's life, but a few details have survived in annotations to the list of patriarchs compiled by Mari ibn Suleiman and Amr ibn Matta. His epithet "of Merv" may denote a birthplace, meaning that he was born in the city of Merv in Khorasan, but this inference remains conjectural: his relationship to Merv is not known with certainty.. A member of the Church of the East—historically, though inaccurately, known as the Nestorian church—he became bishop of Hdatta,. a town close to the mouth of the Great Zab in modern Iraq, perhaps in 837 after Abraham of Marga left the see to become patriarch. Ishodad was a candidate for the patriarchate of the Church of the East around 853 after Abraham's death.. At the time the patriarchate was subject ...

Ishoʿdnaḥ
Ishoʿdnaḥ ( syr, ܝܫܘܥܕܢܚ; fl. 9th century) was a historian and hagiographer of the Church of the East who served as the metropolitan bishop of Mayshan at Baṣra. Some manuscripts refer to him as metropolitan of the diocese of Qasra, but this appears to be a simple spelling error, since Qasra was never a metropolitan see. Ishoʿdnaḥ wrote in Syriac. According to ʿAbdishoʿ bar Brikha, writing towards 1300, he wrote a three-volume ecclesiastical history, a treatise on logic, hymns, poems and consolations, as well as "a treatise on chastity, in which he collected an account of all the saints." The last is one of only two works by Ishoʿdnaḥ known to have been preserved. The other is an acrostic poem about Mar Yawnan, the founder of a monastery near al-Anbār, in 22 stanzas. The former has been published in full, but only a few stanzas of the latter. The ''Ktābā d-nakputā'' ("Book of Chastity"), also known by its Latin title, ''Liber castitatis'', was written aro ...

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. ''On This Universe'' is describe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ishoʿ Of Merv
Ishoʿ of Merv (Syriac: ''Ishoʿ Maruzaya'', Arabic: ''ʿĪsā al-Marwazī'') was an East Syrian lexicographer of the 9th century AD. He was a native of Merv in the Abbasid Caliphate. He wrote a now lost glossary of Syriac words, which was used by Ishoʿ bar ʿAli in composing his own Syriac–Arabic glossary in the second half of the 9th century. According to the preface to Ishoʿ bar ʿAli's glossary, the work of Ishoʿ of Merv was poorly organized and differed at points from the glossary of Ḥunayn ibn Isḥāq. David Taylor sees Ishoʿ of Merv as augmenting the work of Ḥunayn, and Ishoʿ bar ʿAli in turn as augmenting him. Rubens Duval identified Ishoʿ with the lexicographer Zekarya of Merv cited by Ḥasan bar Bahlul in the 10th century. Ḥasan, however, also cites Ishoʿ explicitly, so the proposed identification has not been widely accepted.

Ishoʿsabran
Ishoʿsabran (Syriac language, Syriac: ܝܫܘܥܣܒܪܢ, ''Īšōʿsawrān''), born Mahanosh, was a Persians, Persian Zoroastrian convert to Christianity who was martyred in the Sasanian Empire in 620 or 621. He is commemorated as a saint in the East Syrian rite, East Syriac churches on the third Friday after Feast of the Annunciation, Annunciation.Jean Maurice Fiey, ''Saints Syriaques'' (Darwin Press, 2004), pp. 100–102. At least four persons named Ishoʿsabran appear in East Syriac liturgical calendars, but only the martyr of 620/1 has a written hagiography. This was written by Ishoʿyahb III, Ishoʿyahb of Adiabene before he became patriarch in 649 based on the testimony of Ishoʿsabran's surviving companion, Ishoʿzka. In the words of Jean Maurice Fiey, this biography is "as much from a literary point of view as a critical point of view, one of the best productions of the one of the best East Syriac writers."

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 ...

Jesus (name)
Jesus () is a masculine given name derived from Iēsous (; Iesus in Classical Latin) the Ancient Greek form of the Hebrew and Aramaic name Yeshua or Y'shua (Hebrew: ). As its roots lie in the name Yeshua/Y'shua, it is etymologically related to another biblical name, Joshua. "Jesus" is usually not used as a given name in the English-speaking world, while its counterparts have had longstanding popularity among people with other language backgrounds, such as the Spanish ''Jesús''. Etymology Modern linguistic analysis The modern linguistic analysis of the name ''Yehoshua'' is "Yahweh is lordly". Traditional Christian analysis There have been various proposals as to the literal etymological meaning of the name ''Yəhôšuaʿ'' (Joshua, he, יְהוֹשֻׁעַ), including Yahweh/Yehowah saves, (is) salvation, (is) a saving-cry, (is) a cry-for-saving, (is) a cry-for-help, (is) my help.Philo, ''De Mutatione Nominum'', §21Brown, Driver, Briggs, Gesenius, ''Hebrew and English Lexico ...

East Syriac Dialects
The Syriac language (; syc, / '), also known as Syriac Aramaic (''Syrian Aramaic'', ''Syro-Aramaic'') and Classical Syriac ܠܫܢܐ ܥܬܝܩܐ (in its literary and liturgical form), is an Aramaic dialect that emerged during the first century AD from a local Aramaic dialect that was spoken by Arameans in the ancient Aramean kingdom of Osroene, centered in the city of Edessa. During the Early Christian period, it became the main literary language of various Aramaic-speaking Christian communities in the historical region of Ancient Syria and throughout the Near East. As a liturgical language of Syriac Christianity, it gained a prominent role among Eastern Christian communities that used both Eastern Syriac and Western Syriac rites. Following the spread of Syriac Christianity, it also became a liturgical language of eastern Christian communities as far as India and China. It flourished from the 4th to the 8th century, and continued to have an important role during the next cent ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
