Timothy II was Patriarch of the Church of the East from 1318 to ca.1332. He became leader of the church at a time of profound external stress due to loss of favor with the Mongol rulers of Persia. Eleven bishops were present at Timothy's consecration in 1318: the metropolitans Joseph of Ilam, Abdisho of Nisibis and Shemon of Mosul, and the bishops Shemon of Beth Garmaï, Shemon of Tirhan, Shemon of Balad, Yohannan of Beth Waziq, Yohannan of Shigar, Abdisho of Hnitha, Isaac of Beth Daron and Ishoyahb of Tella and Barbelli (Marga). Timothy himself had been metropolitan of Erbil before his election as patriarch.〔Assemani, ''BO'', iii. i. 567–80〕 One of Timothy's first acts as patriarch was to call a synod in February 1318 and to affirm the Nomocanon of Abdisho of Nisibis as a source of ecclesiastical law. The canons of this synod were the last to have been recorded in the Church of the East before the nineteenth century.〔David Wilmshurst, ''The ecclesiastical organisation of the Church of the East, 1318-1913'', CSCO 582, Subsidia 104 (Leuven: Peeters, 2000), p.18.〕 Timothy wrote an important treatise on the sacraments of the Church,〔(Web page about Vatican Syriac ms.151, which contains the text of Timothy's work on the sacraments. )〕 part of which has been translated into English. ==See also== *List of Patriarchs of the Church of the East 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Timothy II (Nestorian patriarch)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
