Yaqob of India
Mar Yaqob of India, also known as Mar Jacob, was a metropolitan of St Thomas Christians of Malabar. The history & Legends about the east Syrian prelates in India prior to the arrival of European explorers are shrouded in mystery because of the unavailability of surviving documents. But in Vatican Syrian codex 22 the oldest surviving Syrian manuscript written in Malabar specifically mention an east Syrian bishop who was residing in Malabar at that time. According to this ancient document now in Vatican Library which was written by a Deacon named Zachariah bar Joseph address Mar Jacob as Metropolitan and director of the holy see of the Apostle St Thomas ,the great captain and the director of the entire holy church of India.
==Introduction.==
The Christians of St. Thomas had become strong enough to achieve independence. They placed Christian rulers of their own (Villarvattom) which the rajahs of Cochin eventually absorbed shortly before the advent of the Portuguese.〔A handbook of Kerala, Volume 1 -Page 152 Quoted by T. Madhava Menon, International School of Dravidian Linguistics.〕 Their metropolitan, residing in Angamali, was assisted in the operations of his office by an archdeaoon. The archdeaoon was selected by the Catholics from the influential Pakalomattam family. Upon the death of the metropolitan, the archdeacon was left alone with the task of managing the office. He petitioned the Patriarch to name a successor to the deceased metropolitan.
Painting a comprehensive picture of this fascinating time in Ancient Indian Christianity remains an insurmountable task. The source material for this dark period which existed in the East Syrian repositories of Mesopotamia and in the old records of the Indian churches was destroyed by the Mongol hordes on the one side and by the Portuguese on the other. In fact the vandalism of the Mongol invasions of the Middle East was only surpassed in this sphere by the re-percussions of the Synod of Diamper in 1599. That act of faith simply led to the obliteration of all Indian records, since it was decided to burn all religious manuscripts tainted with the heresy of Nestorius.〔The history of Christianity in India: Volume 2 By James Hough〕 Thus historic records of The Malabar Church became lost to time. Cardinal Tisserant, however, registers a couple of minor but interesting references bearing upon the later mediaeval history of that church. The first dates from the fourteenth century, when a copyist named Zaccharias bar joseph bar Zaccharias made an allusion to the Catholicos Yahballaha III (1245–1314) and to Mar Jacob, bishop of India, in 1301.〔MS Vat Syr 22; Wilmshurst, EOCE, 343 and 391.〕〔A History of Eastern Christianity (Taylor & Francis)-Page365〕
