This article aims to reconstruct the early history of this Church, which is both miaphysite and East-Syriac. It questions two founding ideas: on the one hand, the hypothetical catholicosate of Aḥudemmeh in the mid‑6th century, which was perhaps the result of a historiographical construction, and on the other hand, the convent of Mar‑Mattai, whose separation from the official dyophysite Church might bear witness to a movement of institutional and christological radicalization at the end of the 7th century. The study of two essential foci, the regions of the future Kūfa and Mosul, allows us to push forward the appearance of the first miaphysite structures in Iraq to the end of the 6th century. These milieux then developed in reaction to a change in the dyophysite majority but do not seem to have benefited from any imperial support, either Roman or Sasanian. More than an emanation of the Miaphysite current in the Roman Empire, the Miaphysite province of the East seems to have been the product of processes which, without being closed to the flow of ideas and individuals coming from the West, also had their own internal drivers.
