Rabbula

thumb|325x325px|Ruins in Edessa, the famous [[Syriac Christian school]] Rabbula (; romanized ''Rabūlā d'Urhāy) was a bishop of Edessa from 411/2 to August 435/6 AD, noteworthy for his opposition to the views of Theodore of Mopsuestia and Nestorius. However, his successor Ibas, who was in charge of the school of Edessa, reversed the official stance of that bishopric. Rabbula is not to be confused with the otherwise unknown scribe of the 6th century Rabbula Gospels. He is venerated as a saint by the Oriental Orthodox Church (feast on August 7/8 according to the Syriac Orthodox Church), with possible historical Eastern Orthodox veneration on December 20.

== Sources == The Life of Rabbula'' is a biographical Syriac text of Rabbula's life from the beginning of his birth to his life achievements and ends with his death. The text was first translated from Syriac into English and published by J. J. Overbeck in his S. Ephraemi Syri Rabulae Episcopi Edesseni Balaei Aliorumque opera selecta (1865). The Syriac parchment was found stored in the British Museum and is dated to the sixth century AD.
