Abraham of Nathpar - ܐܒܪܗܡ ܢܬܦܪܝܐ
http://syriaca.org/person/321
Abraham of Nathpar was an East
Syrian author and ascetic from the region of Adiabene who wrote
treatises on monasticism and contemplative theology. He was commemorated at
an eponymous
monastery in the same region. Abraham was a contemporary of
Abraham of
Kashkar and the former Abraham's writings played a role in
the monastic reform in the Church of the East led by latter Abraham. Abraham
of Nathpar's reputation also extended beyond the Church of the East. Some of
his works circulated under the name of Evagrius of Pontus and
can be found in West Syrian ascetic miscellanies under that name as well as
attributed to Abraham himself.1, 9, 27
