Shahlufa (Classical Syriac: ܫܚܠܘܦܐ‎) was a legendary primate of the Church of the East, who is conventionally believed to have reigned from 220 to 224 A.D.

Хотя Шахлуфа включен в традиционные списки приматов Церкви Востока , его существование подвергалось сомнению Дж. М. Фиеем , одним из самых выдающихся ученых ХХ века в Церкви Востока. По мнению Фие, Шахлуфа был одним из нескольких вымышленных епископов Селевкии-Ктесифона, чьи жизни были придуманы в шестом веке, чтобы преодолеть разрыв между епископом конца третьего века Папой , первым исторически засвидетельствованным епископом Селевкии-Ктесифона, и апостолом Мари , легендарный основатель христианства в Персии .

Sources[edit]

Brief accounts of the life of Shahlufa are given in the Ecclesiastical Chronicle of the Jacobite writer Bar-Hebraeus (fl. 1280) and in the ecclesiastical histories of the Nestorian writers Mari (twelfth-century), ʿAmr (fourteenth-century) and Sliba (fourteenth-century). These accounts differ slightly, and these minor differences are of significance for scholars interested in tracing the various stages in the development of the legend.

Life of Shahlufa[edit]

The following brief account of the life of Shahlufa is given by Bar-Hebraeus:

After Ahadabui, Shahlufa. He was a native of Kashkar. After the death of Ahadabui, the Eastern bishops assembled and consecrated him. He was the first catholicus to be consecrated by the Eastern bishops. He died at Seleucia after fulfilling his office for twenty years.[2]
