Gabriel of Basra
text:
Gabriel of Baṣra was a bishop and jurist of the Church of the East. Little is known of Gabriel's life other than that he was metropolitan of Baṣra in 884 and 893. Sometime in the last quarter of the ninth century, he compiled the first nomocanon in the history of the Church of the East. Only fragments of the original Syriac survive, but the work can be largely reconstructed because of its extensive quotation and citation in the Arabic collection Fiqh al-Naṣrāniyya of Ibn al-Ṭayyib and the Syriac
