BARHADBĒSABBĀ. - Historian and Nestorian, b. at Bet Asbaje (Persia); he was a pupil of the school of Nisibis under the direction of Hēnānā, in the second half of the 6th century.

The catalogue of Ebediesu (G. S. Assemani, Bibl. Orient., III, Rome 1725, p. 169) attributes to B. books, of which only a history of the Church in 32 chapters is still preserved. F. Nau (PO 9, 493 ff.) published its last 14 chapters. A. Sher (op. cit. 4, 320 ff.) publishes by B. the Treatise on the Foundation of Schools. In 605 a certain B., bishop of Halvān, subscribed to the Synod of Gregory I (J. B. Chabot, Synodicon orient., Paris 1902, p. 379). Since there are contradictions between the two works, Baumstark (Geschichte der syrischen Literatur, Bonn 1922, p. 136) holds that the author of the first is different from B., bishop of Halvān and author of the second.
