Bp. and scholar.
主教 (bp.) 与学者。
Bp. and scholar. He was born in Baqufa and given the baptismal name Yawsep. After his education at the Patriarchal Seminary in Mosul he was ordained priest by Patr. Eliya XIV on 15 Aug. 1889. From 1895–1902 he was head of the Seminary of St. John in Mosul , and was also involved with the Dominican Press. In 1902 he accompanied Patr. Emmanuel Toma to Rome. He was ordained bp. together with Addai Scher . He had been in Europe during World War I, and returned in 1919, to be sent by the patr. to Baṣra (1921–8). He had hoped to go to Rome in 1928, but on Holy Thursday he mysteriously disappeared; his body was eventually found in the Tigris. Having an excellent knowledge of Syriac, he published a grammar (Mosul, 1896) and Syriac-Arabic dictionary (1900); the latter was re-issued with an appendix in Beirut (ed. R. J. Bidawid, 1975). His two-volume anthology of Syriac literature, Marge pegyānāye d-mardutā d-Ārāmāye /Morceaux choisis de littérature araméenne (1901) has been much appreciated.
主教 (Bp.) 与学者。他生于巴库法 (Baqufa)，取洗名约瑟夫 (Yawsep)。在摩苏尔 (Mosul) 的大公宗主神学院 (Patriarchal Seminary) 受教育后，他于 1889 年 8 月 15 日由大公宗主 (Patr.) 埃利雅十四世 (Eliya XIV) 祝圣为司铎。1895 至 1902 年间，他担任摩苏尔 (Mosul) 圣约翰神学院 (Seminary of St. John) 院长，并参与多明我会出版社 (Dominican Press) 的工作。1902 年，他陪同大公宗主 (Patr.) 埃曼努埃尔·托马 (Emmanuel Toma) 前往罗马 (Rome)。他与阿代·谢尔 (Addai Scher) 一同被祝圣为主教 (bp.)。第一次世界大战 (World War I) 期间他曾在欧洲 (Europe)，1919 年返回，后被大公宗主 (patr.) 派往巴士拉 (Baṣra)（1921–8 年）。他本希望于 1928 年前往罗马 (Rome)，但在圣周四 (Holy Thursday) 神秘失踪；其遗体最终在底格里斯河 (Tigris) 被发现。凭借精湛的叙利亚语 (Syriac) 知识，他出版了一部语法书（摩苏尔 (Mosul), 1896）和一部叙利亚语 - 阿拉伯语词典（1900）；后者于贝鲁特 (Beirut) 再版并附有附录（编. R. J. 比达维德 (Bidawid), 1975）。他的两卷本叙利亚语 (Syriac) 文学选集《阿拉米文学选粹》(Marge pegyānāye d-mardutā d-Ārāmāye / Morceaux choisis de littérature araméenne)（1901）备受推崇。
