v· primate of the Maronite Church, one of the Eastern Catholic Churches. After becoming patriarch, they assume the name "Peter," after the first Bishop of Antioch, St. Peter, who was also the head of the Apostles. The official title that the Maronite Patriarch assumes is "Patriarch of Antioch and All the East."
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.
