compilations now embedded in the History of the Patriarchs of Alexandria, and by
putting these in conversation with parallel texts produced in Syriac, this
article explores the revitalisation of the contacts between the Severan
patriarchs of Alexandria and Antioch in the context of the late Marwānid andʿAbbāsid periods. It
argues that, while the commitment to communion was a shared inheritance of the
late Roman period, the same commitment was renewed and refashioned in a quite
different context, wherein the shifting distribution of power within the
caliphate had placed the Alexandrian patriarchs in a position of distinct
disadvantage and discomfort, far removed from the centres of patronage and of
power.
