Author. He was born in 1275 in Ḥaḥ ( Ṭur ʿAbdin ) as the son of the teacher and priest Ṣlibo, son of the priest Isḥoq bar Khayrun. In 1299 he became monk in a monastery dedicated to Mary in the neighborhood of Manazgirt (to the north of Lake Van) and priest. Later on, he lived with his father in the Monastery of the Water-Drop (Dayro d-Noṭpho; Arab. Dayr al-Nāṭif or al-Qaṭra), which looks down on Dayr al-Zaʿfarān . He died there on 19 Aug. 1335. He is the author of several poems, a number of which are of liturgical content, as well as of Rules for priests and deacons, and a commentary to the Lexicon of Bar Bahlul . According to the 15th-cent. author Dawid Puniqoyo (known in Arabic as Dāwūd al-Ḥimṣī) he is one of the three men who after the demise of Syriac literature distinguished themselves through their writings (Graf). In addition, Yeshuʿ copied a number of Syriac manuscripts. His father Ṣlibo is also known as an author and copyist.
作者。他于 1275 年出生于哈赫 (Ḥaḥ，图尔阿卜丁 [Ṭur ʿAbdin])，是教师兼司祭斯利博 (Ṣlibo) 之子，斯利博是司祭伊肖克·巴尔·海伦 (Isḥoq bar Khayrun) 的儿子。1299 年，他在凡湖 (Lake Van) 以北曼纳兹格特 (Manazgirt) 附近的一座奉献给玛丽的修道院成为修士和司祭。后来，他与父亲同住在水滴修道院 (Monastery of the Water-Drop; Dayro d-Noṭpho; 阿拉伯语 Dayr al-Nāṭif 或 al-Qaṭra)，该修道院俯瞰扎法拉恩修道院 (Dayr al-Zaʿfarān)。他于 1335 年 8 月 19 日在那里去世。他是多首诗歌的作者，其中许多具有礼仪内容，还著有《祭司与执事规章》(Rules for priests and deacons) 以及对《巴尔·巴赫勒尔词典》(Lexicon of Bar Bahlul) 的注释。据 15 世纪作者达维德·普尼科约 (Dawid Puniqoyo，阿拉伯语名为 Dāwūd al-Ḥimṣī) 记载，他是叙利亚语文学衰落后通过著作脱颖而出的三人之一 (Graf)。此外，耶书 (Yeshuʿ) 抄写了许多叙利亚语手稿。他的父亲斯利博 (Ṣlibo) 也以作者和抄写员闻名。
