The Mor Bar Sauma Monastery was a Syriac Orthodox monastery near Malatya in Turkey.[1][nb 1] The monastery served as the regular patriarchal residence from the eleventh century until the thirteenth century, and was eventually abandoned in the seventeenth century.[5] It produced five patriarchs and forty-three metropolitan bishops.[4] Between 1074 and 1283 several synods took place at the monastery.[6]
