List of Patriarchs of The Church of The East From 1681 To 1830

In 1681 a separate Patriarchate in communion with the Catholic Church was erected in Amid, splitting from the Eliya Line. In 1692 Shemʿon XIII Dinkha (based in Qochanis) of the Shimun line, broke formally communion with Rome.

Eliya Line, with residence in Alqosh:

  • 93 Eliya X Yohannan Marogin (1660-1700)
  • 94 Eliya XI Marogin (1700-1722)
  • 95 Eliya XII Denha (1722-1778)

at the death of Eliya XII the Eliya Line split between:

    • 96 Eliya XIII Ishoʿyahb (1778-1804)
    • 96 Yohannan VIII Hormizd (1778-1830)

Shemʿon Line, with residence in Qochanis:

  • 97 Shemʿon XIII Dinkha (1662–1700)
  • 98 Shemʿon XIV Shlemon (1700-1740)
  • 99 Shemʿon XV Mikhaʿil Mukhtas (1740-1780)
  • 100 Shemʿon XVI Yohannan (1780-1820)
  • 101 Shemʿon XVII Abraham (1820-1861)

Josephite Line, with residence in Amid, in full Communion with the Catholic Church:

  • 95 Joseph I (1681–1696)
  • 96 Joseph II Sliba Maruf (1696–1713)
  • 97 Joseph III Timothy Maroge (1713–1757)
  • 98 Joseph IV Lazare Hindi (1757–1780)
  • 99 Joseph V Augustine Hindi (1780–1827)

With the reign of Patriarch Yohannan Hormizd, the Eliya Line in Alqosh entered in Communion with Rome, merging with the Catholic "Josephite" Amid line and thus forming the modern Chaldean Church. In 1830, Yohannan Hormizd was recognised by the Vatican as patriarch of Babylon of the Chaldeans and moved the see in Mosul. This event marked the birth of the modern Chaldean Catholic Church. For the following Chaldean Patriarchs see the below.

The Shemʿon Line remained the only line not communion with the Catholic Church, and from the 19th-century it was known as Assyrian Church of the East.
