Bishop Of Germanicia
The diocese of Marash was an ecclesiastical jurisdiction in eastern Cilicia with its seat in the city of Marash (ancient Germanicia, now Kahramanmaraş). By the sixth century, it was an autocephalous archbishopric, but it fell into desuetude after the Arab conquest in the seventh century. The archdiocese was never revived. Eudoxius of Antioch was the Arian bishop of Germanicia before becoming bishop of Antioch. Five bishops are known before the Arab conquest. In addition, 22 Syriac Orthodox bishops are known from the eighth to the thirteenth century. The city had an Armenian bishop at the time of the First Crusade (1096–1099). In 1100, the Armenian bishop gave assistance to Prince Bohemond I of Antioch against the Danishmendids. A Latin bishop was appointed sometime between 1104 and 1114. He was subject to the Latin patriarch of Antioch, but his primary purpose may have been more strategic than religious, since Marash was the seat of a frontier lordship subject to the Principalit ...

Cilicia
Cilicia () is a geographical region in southern Anatolia, extending inland from the northeastern coasts of the Mediterranean Sea. Cilicia has a population ranging over six million, concentrated mostly at the Cilician plain (). The region includes the provinces of Mersin, Adana, Osmaniye and Hatay. Name The name of Cilicia () was derived from (), which was the name used by the Neo-Assyrian Empire to designate the western part of what would become Cilicia. The English spelling is the same as the Latin, as it was transliterated directly from the Greek form Κιλικία. The palatalization of c occurring in Western Europe in later Vulgar Latin () accounts for its modern pronunciation in English. Geography Cilicia extends along the Mediterranean coast east from Pamphylia to the Nur Mountains, which separate it from Syria. North and east of Cilicia stand the rugged Taurus Mountains, which separate it from the high central plateau of Anatolia, and which are pierced by a ...

Lordship Of Marash
The Lordship of Marash was a territorial lordship in northeastern Cilicia between 1104 and 1149, centred on the city of Marash (today Kahramanmaraş). One of the lesser Crusader states, it played a major role in the defence of the northern frontier in the 1130s and 1140s under Lords Geoffrey and Baldwin. Its position became untenable after the fall of Edessa in 1146. Primary sources The lordship of Marash is mentioned in passing in the Arabic (Muslim) sources, such as Ibn al-Furat and Ibn al-Athir. Likewise, only one charter of a lord of Marash survives. Thus, the history of the lordship must be reconstructed almost entirely from Christian narrative sources in Armenian, Syriac, Greek and Latin. The most important of these is the Armenian ''Chronicle'' of Matthew of Edessa, continued from 1137 by Gregory the Priest. The ''Chronicle of the Kingdom of Little Armenia'' of Sempad the Constable also contains information. The Syriac ''Chronicle'' of Michael the Syrian and the anonymous Sy ...

Michael The Great
Michael the Syrian (),(), died AD 1199, also known as Michael the Great () or Michael Syrus or Michael the Elder, to distinguish him from his nephew, was a patriarch of the Syriac Orthodox Church from 1166 to 1199. He is best known today as the author of the largest medieval ''Chronicle'', which he wrote in the Syriac language. Some other works and fragments written by him have also survived. Life Early years The life of Michael is recorded by Bar Hebraeus. He was born ca. 1126 in Melitene (today Malatya), the son of the Priest Eliya (Elias), of the Qindasi family. His uncle, the monk Athanasius, became bishop of Anazarbus in Cilicia in 1136. At that period Melitene was part of the kingdom of the Turkoman Danishmend dynasty, and, when that realm was divided in two in 1142, it became the capital of one principality. In 1178 it became part of the Sultanate of Rûm. The Jacobite monastery of Mor Bar Sauma was close to the town, and had been the patriarchal seat since the 11th ce ...

Council Of Nicaea (325)
The First Council of Nicaea ( ; ) was a council of Christian bishops convened in the Bithynian city of Nicaea (now İznik, Turkey) by the Roman Emperor Constantine I. The Council of Nicaea met from May until the end of July 325. This ecumenical council was the first of many efforts to attain consensus in the church through an assembly representing all Christendom. Hosius of Corduba may have presided over its deliberations. Attended by at least 200 bishops, its main accomplishments were the settlement of the Christological issue of the divine nature of God the Son and his relationship to God the Father, the construction of the first part of the Nicene Creed, the mandating of uniform observance of the date of Easter, and the promulgation of early canon law. Background Alexandrian controversies The major impetus for the calling of the Council of Nicaea arose in a theological dispute among the Christian clergy of Alexandria concerning the nature of Jesus, his origin, ...
