Chaldeans and Diyarbakir

Chaldeans, one of the religious-social communities that have left their mark in Diyarbakir, the fertile place of tired times, from the Chaldeans, one of the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, to the Chaldean Church established in Diyarbakir for the first time in the world in the 16th century…

Diyarbakir hosted the Chaldean Patriarchate, albeit at intervals, until the first quarter of the 1800s, during the process of attaching the Nestorians (Eastern Assyrians) to the Vatican, which started with John Sulaka in 1552. The remarkable aspect of this book is that it was prepared for the Diyarbakir Mar Petyun Chaldean Church, based on many manuscripts that the community left behind (Baptism, Jizya, Foundation, Death Notes, etc.). The population of Chaldeans in Diyarbakir, family ties, churches, foundation real estate, schools and student records, fatwas of church foundations, military service fees, neighborhoods, and hundred-year-old death records are included in the documents belonging to the civil bureaucracy, produced locally at a level that is rare in Turkey...
