520 |a“Standing on the side of the mountain ridge a short distance east of the city of Mardin, Turkey, the Za’faran Monastery is a monumental religious relic of the Syrian Church of Antioch. It is one of the many monasteries in the East which has survived to this day. Built by some Byzantine emperors as a military fortress, it was destroyed by the Persians at the beginning of the seventh century. It remained desolate until 793 AD when Mar Hananya, Bishop of Mardin and Kafartut, bought it and converted it to a monastery. Thus, it was known as the Mar Hananya’s Monastery. By the end of the fourteenth century it assumed the name of Za’faran owing to a tradition circulated among Syrians until this day. A merchant of za’faran (saffron) happened to pass by the monastery. Mar Hananya bought some saffron and had it mixed with gypsum to rebuild the monastery, hence, the name of Za’faran Monastery. Following the eighth century, the Za’faran Monastery became the center of Syriac leaning. It housed a huge and substantial library of which a few hundred manuscripts remained until the end of the thirteenth century. A school was also founded which graduated many monks and bishops. In 1163, a superior of the monastery succeeded in drawing water into the monastery through aqueducts from neighboring fountains, a great engineering feat for its time. Toward the end of the thirteenth century, the Za’faran Monastery became the seat of the Syrian patriarchs, and remained so until the first quarter of the twentieth century. It prospered under the patriarchs but did not escape the ravages of time. It was devastated by the Mongol Tamerlane who attacked Mesopotamia and Syria at the end of the fourteenth century. Succeeding patriarchs renovated it only to be further destroyed by the marauding Kurds in 1516. The monastery began to flourish relatively once more under Ottoman rule. In 1881 and 1889, two printing presses from England were introduced into the monastery and printed a number of Syriac books. For a time, its operation stopped but was resumed in 1911. Today, with its several chapels, the Beth Qadishe (The Mausoleum), a small library, and the few monks who inhabit it, the Za’faran Monastery remains a distinctive monument of the past glory of the Syrian Church of Antioch“ -- Yayıncı.
