Talk:Yahballaha III

Rabba's ethnic origin is not clear as well. He might be Uighur or Ongud —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.131.1.11 (talk) 06:40, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Precision
I think Isa Kelemechi preceded Rabban bar Sauma as an Asian ambassador to Europe... but I guess it also depends on the definition of "Asian". Maybe "East Asian" would be better to qualify Rabban bar Sauma? Best regards  Per Honor et Gloria  ✍  07:37, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Date of consecration
I changed the date of consecration in the infobox from 1281 (when he was elected Patriarch) to 1279 because this is when he was consecrated a bishop by Mar Denha I. Baum (2003) states he was aged 35 at the time (being born c. 1245), and that the period between his consecration and election was two years, which makes 1279 the year of his consecration as a bishop.

Please note that the bottom of the page is filled with flatly biased information, and that any reference to scholarly disputes over the nature of Yahballaha's correspondence with the Vatican has been withheld. 108.28.153.141 (talk) 23:57, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
