STEPHEN AD-DUWAYH. - Maronite patriarch, b. at Ihden (Lebanon) in 1630.
He entered the Maronite College in Rome in 1641. He returned to Lebanon in 1654; in 1662 he was sent by the patriarch G. Sib'all to Aleppo, where he converted many Melkites, Nestorians and Jacobites; in 1668 he was elected bishop of Cyprus and in 1670 patriarch of Antioch for the Maronites.
Worthy of note is the theological disputation held in 1683 against Cyril V, patriarch of the dissident Melkites, before the emir Ahmad b. Ma'n, as a result of which Cyril V and four of his bishops were converted (A. Martin, Lettres édifiantes et curieuses, I, Paris 1838, p. 87 ff.).
Among S.'s works are remembered: Manārat al-Aqdās ("Lighthouse of the sanctuary", 2 vols., ed. R. Šartūnī, Beirut 1895-96), an extensive explanation of the Maronite Mass; Silsilah baṭārikah aṭ-ṭā'īfah al-mārūnijjah ("Series of the patriarchs of the Maronite nation", ed. R. Šartūnī, ibid. 1911); for which the author was able to consult inscriptions and manuscripts now lost; Ta'rīh al-azminah ("Annals", ed. F. Tautel, ibid. 1951); Kitāb-al-iḥtīfāg, of which a Latin version exists in Vat. lat. 7411 under the title Vindiciae Maronitarum.
