A famous list of Maronite Patriarchs of Antioch was published by Giuseppe Simone Assemani ,[ 1 ] which follows the Series of Maronite Patriachs written by Patriach Estephan El Douaihy in the 17th century ,[ 2 ] but it is incomplete for the first centuries . Besides the Assemani 's list , an other list more detailed was written in Bejjeh in 1766 by Georges Saad .[ 3 ]
In the list here below the names shifted on the right are not included in the incomplete Assemani 's list and derive from the Bejjeh 's list .
