Ignatius Pilate was the Patriarch of Antioch and head of the Syriac Orthodox Church from 1591 until his death in 1597.[1][a]
Biography
[edit | edit source]Pilate was from the village of al-Manṣūriyyah near Mardin and was educated at the Mor Hananyo Monastery.[3] He was appointed as Maphrian of the East in 1575 or 1576 and assumed the name Basil.[4] Whilst at the Mar Behnam Monastery, Pilate wrote a letter in 1579/1580 to Pope Gregory XIII in which he expressed his interest in establishing union with Rome.[5] In 1591, Pilate became patriarch of Antioch and assumed the name Ignatius.[6] He ordained his brother ʿAbd al-Ghani as a deputy metropolitan and then maphrian.[7] However, from 1591 Pilate was opposed by Hidayat Allah, with the support of his uncle Timothy Tuma (d. 1592), until they were reconciled by John Wanki in 1593.[8] He died in 1597 at Aleppo, where he was buried.[9]
Works
[edit | edit source]In 1560, Pilate transcribed a Beth Gazo whilst he was still a monk.[10] He also produced a copy of The Book of Rays (Syriac: Kthobo d-Zalge) by Bar Hebraeus, dated 1590 (Oxford MS 521).[11]
