Biographical notes:

Isaac, Bishop of Nineveh in the Syrian Nestorian Church, was also known as Isaac the Syrian. A monk, he was ordained Bishop of Nineveh, but abdicated after five months in office and withdrew into the wilderness of Mount Matout where he lived in solitude. He is best remembered for his homilies on the inner and mystical life and is revered in the Orthodox churches as a saint.
