Eliya VII

Eliya VII (Syriac: ܐܠܝܐ / Elīyā, d. 26 May 1617) was Patriarch of the Church of the East from 1591 to 1617, with residence in Rabban Hormizd Monastery, near Alqosh, in modern Iraq. On several occasions, in 1605-1607 and 1610, and again in 1615–1616, he negotiated on with representatives of the Catholic Church, but without any final conclusion.[1][2] In older historiography, he was designated as Eliya VII,[3] but later renumbered as Eliya "VIII" by some authors.[4][5] After the resolution of several chronological questions, he was designated again as Eliya VII,[6][7][8] and that numeration is accepted in recent scholarly works.[9][10][11][12][13][14][15]
