Author

Philoxenos Yuḥanon Dolabani (1885–1969) was a modern Syriac Orthodox writer, educator, and bishop of Mardin (1947–69). Born and raised in Mardin, he initially pursued a career in shoe-making but later became a monk in 1908. Dolabani taught at several monasteries and the Syriac Orthodox Orphanage in Adana. He accompanied Patriarch Eliya III on pastoral tours in the Middle East, particularly after World War I and the Sayfo massacres. In 1947, he was consecrated Bishop of Mardin. Dolabani edited various works, including an abridged version of the Beth Gazo and Bar Hebraeus' Book of the Dove. He authored over 40 books in Syriac, Arabic, and Turkish. His autobiography was published posthumously in 2007.
