Also known as Gregory Abu'l Faraj or bar Hebraeus\, he was the son of Deacon Tajal-Din Ahroun who was a physician. Many histor ians mistakenly considered them Jewish converts to Christianity because of the name bar'Ebroyo (son of a Hebrew) &\; Aaron. However\, Mor Gregori os himself has refuted the claim in a poem. On his Chrismation\, he was gi ven the name John. He was raised in Melitene\, the birth place of many of our great Syriac scholars\, philosophers\, &\; historians. Their family had to leave Melitene because of Tatar raids against the city in 1243 AD\ , settling in the great city of Antioch\, sadly even Antioch was ransacked by the Tartars after a few years. At the age of 18\, bar'Ebroyo became a monk. He was then consecrated Metropolitan with the title Gregorios for th e diocese of Gubos\, later he was given the charge of Laqabin &\; then Aleppo. He was extremely fond of learning since his childhood. He learnt m edicine from his father\, studied the available Holy books with interpreta tions. After becoming a bishop\, his zeal for learning from sources outsid e his own Church &\; nations increased as he encountered leaders &\; scholars of different peoples &\; Churches &\; had to debate them o n matters of theology\, politics etc. He completed his studies in medicine \, then further went on to study the natural sciences of the Greeks\, logi c\, &\; rhetoric (from the teacher\, Nestorian bishop Jacob) from a mul titude of the brightest minds of his time. Mor Gregorios was a polyglot wh o mastered Syriac\, Arabic\, Armenian\, Persian. During this time he never neglected his duties to his Archdioceses\, where tremendous growth was re corded under his tenure. Devastatingly\, in 1258AD Aleppo was attacked by the Tartars\, Mor Gregorios pleaded with the Tartar King to stop\, but sad ly countless people were killed in the massacre. HH Patriarch Mor Ignatius IV Yeshu took notice of this bright star of the Church. In 1264 Mor Grego rios Yuhannon Bar'Ebroyo was consecrated as Maphryono of the East (Catholi cos) in an elaborate ceremony held in the city of Sis\, of the Armenian ki ngdom of Cilicia. The event was attended by thousands of faithful\, Armeni an King Hethum\, countless religious &\; political dignitaries. His hea dquarters was Dayro d-Mor Mattai Nineveh however he would frequently visit Tabriz &\; Maragh\, Iran. During his 22 year reign as Maphrian\, bar'E broyo built countless churches\, ordained many bishops\, initiated many mo nastic orders. He worked tirelessly for the interests of the Syriac Orthod ox Church &\; entered into dialogue with numerous political &\; reli gious leaders to secure the position of the Church &\; her faithful in society. Mor Gregorios was a scholar par excellence. He is the Doctor of t he Syriac Church for all times\, ages &\; generations. The World Histor y\, Secular History\, &\; Church History (Chronicon Ecclesiasticum) are his most acclaimed works which have been praised by countless scholars\, Orientalists &\; historians. Bar'Ebroyo also wrote the magnum opus Ktob o d-Awsar Roze (The Book of the Storehouse of Mysteries) which is a commen tary of the entire Holy Bible. His books Mnorath Kudshe (Lamp of the Sanct uary) &\; Ktobo d-zalge (Book of Rays) were heavily referenced by Diony sius Geevarghese Vattasseril in his book Mathopadesa Sarangal\, &\; the books written by late Kadavil Thirumeni of blessed memory. In addition\, bar'Ebroyo also wrote the Nomocanon (Ktobo d-hudoye or The Book of Directi ons) which is the official Canon Law of the Syriac Orthodox Church. A full list of his works can be found on https://goo.gl/FesZTD &\; in 'The Hi story of Syriac Literature and Sciences' by late HH Patriarch Ignatius Aph rem I Barsoum of blessed memory. His abridged version of the St. James lit urgy is currently followed by all the West-Syriac churches today. On a vis it to Maragha (Iranian Persia)\, Mor Gregorios fell ill with fever. He rep osed in the Lord at the age of 60. Countless faithful\, important politica l dignitaries &\; prominent religious leaders came to pay their respect s at his funeral. In attendance was Nestorian Catholicos Mar Yahballaha II I who recently moved his seat to Maragha. Bar'Ebroyo was buried in the Chu rch of Maragha\, but his remains were later transferred to Dayro d-Mor Mat tai. Maphryono Mor Gregorios Yuhannon bar'Ebroyo is described as "The Ocea n of Wisdom\," "The Light of East &\; West\," "The Prince of Learning M en\," "The Greatest Sage\," "The Holy Father\," "The Most Learned Man Poss essing Divine Knowledge\," &\; "The Encyclopedia of the 13th Century."& nbsp\; He is the Syriac Orthodox Church's greatest &\; boldest knight t hat could never be challenged or matched in all branches of learning\, the ological &\; otherwise.
