Notes

“Bp. of Edessa (542–578) and missionary.”1
In hagiography: Jacob Baradaeus is commemorated as a monk educated at the monastery of Phesilta. During the sixth-century struggle between miaphysite clergy and Chalcedonian bishops, Jacob ordained a separate hierarchy of miaphysite clergy. Because of his efforts, The Syrian Orthodox Church was sometimes called "The Jacobite church". He also negotiated with the empress Theodora and Harith, the Ghassanid client king. He was ordained by Theodosius of Alexandria and travelled extensively to revive the miaphysite clergy.
“Jacob was of crucial importance for the development of an independent miaphysite Syrian church in the second half of the sixth century. Consecrated bishop of Edessa by Theodosius of Alexandria in c.542, Jacob ordained a large number of priests in the following years thoughout Syria, thereby ensuring the survival of the miaphysite movement despite Justinian's policy to install Chalcedonian bishops in every city. He was the most authoritative anti-Chalcedonian bishop in Rome's eastern provinces. His position was such that even Paul of Antioch had to ask for his forgiveness after he had entered Chalcedonian communion in the early 570s. Joh. Eph., EH 4.15-34 treats the last years of his life and his conflict with Paul of Antioch.”20
