DESCRIPTION:Mor George Patriarch of Antioch (758-790) is one of the most f
 amous patriarchs of Antioch\, distinguished in his age for his knowledge\,
  understanding\, literary productions and sober opinions. Moreover\, he wa
 s amiable\, humble and patient in overcoming hardships.\n\n\nHe was born a
 t B'altan near josya in the province of Homs\, and studied and mastered Sy
 riac and Greek as well as philology\, theology and jurisprudence at Qinnes
 rin. There he was ordained a deacon and led an ascetic and pious life. He 
 also corresponded with Theodore\, bishop of Samosata\, who predicted that 
 God would entrust him with a high position in his church.\n\n\nTheodore al
 so encouraged him to be faithful to his monastery. As George was\, beside 
 his outstanding learning\, a man of virtue and noble character\, he was ch
 osen by the Holy Council to ascend the Apostolic See of Antioch. He was co
 nsecrated a patriarch in 758. Soon after his consecration\, he had to put 
 up with envious and malignant bishops like john\, bishop of Callinicus (Al
 -Raqqa) and David\, bishop of Dara and others\, assisted by a wicked and i
 ntriguing monk who yielded to them.\n\n \nConsequently\, both John and Dav
 id usurped the See of Antioch. In 766 he suffered in prison\, went to Bagh
 dad and for nine years he and other captives had to bear with patience the
  injustice of Abu Ja'far al-Mansour\, the stingy and greedy Abbasid Caliph
 . Although al-Mansour was aware of the innocence of the patriarch\, he hop
 ed that he would discover golden treasures through false achieved knowledg
 e. With him was also imprisoned the patriarch of the Malkites and the Nest
 orian Catholicos. They were all released after the death of Abu Ja'far in 
 775. He was honored and received by the Church as if he were an angel desc
 ending from heaven. Immediately\, he began gathering scattered flocks and 
 repairing the damage which had befallen the church. He journeyed to Antioc
 h where\, in the same year\, he ordained ten bishops. In 785\, he held a s
 ynod at Kfar Nabu near Sarug\, in which he enacted twenty-two canons\, pre
 ceded by a universal letter. He administered the Church wisely until his d
 eath on the first of December\, 790. He was buried in the Monastery of Mor
  Barsoum in Melitene and is commemorated by the Church on the seventh day 
 of the same month.\n\n\n\nMor George wrote an eloquent commentary in two v
 olumes on the Gospel of St. Matthew\, in which he cited Ignatius\, African
 us\, Eusebius of Caesarea\, Gregory of Nyssa\, Chrysostom\, Jacob of Sarug
 \, Philoxenus of Mabug\, Severus of Antioch and George\, bishop of the Ara
 bs. There is one old copy extant of this commentary\, in almost 500 pages\
 , written on vellum and imperfect from the beginning until chapter forty-s
 even. Patriarch George addressed the Muslim charge of biblical falsificati
 on (taḥrīf) in chapter 49 of the introduction to his Commentary on the 
 Gospel of Matthew. It is considered the oldest of this genre.\n\n\nAlso wr
 itten by him was a distinguished letter\, mentioned by Michael the Great\,
  addressed to Gauriya\, the deacon of Beth Na'ar\, a village in Lebanon\, 
 on the phrase\, "we break the heavenly bread. "\n\n\nHe wrote poetry\, cha
 racterized by clarity and charm. During his imprisonment\, he composed bea
 utiful hymns and metrical discourses\, some of which\, as we believe\, wer
 e added to the Church services. Of these hymns\, we found one to the tune 
 of "Rise up\, O. Paul\," in which he laments his condition. It goes on "Qu
 m Phaulos" tune\, starts like this: "May it do me much good\, if I am info
 rmed that Babylon\, city of the giants\, has fallen and that the gates of 
 prisons have been opened in order to go out victorious like Peter\,? and l
 ike Zachariah sing with delight: 'Behold\, the sun shines over the blind f
 rom on high'. O\, daughters of Zion\, weep for Daniel\, and 0\, monasterie
 s weep for George."\n\nAn Early Syriac Response to the Charge of Taḥrī
