Jacob of Edessa (or James of Edessa) (Syriac: ܝܰܥܩܽܘܒ ܐܽܘܪܗܰܝܳܐ, romanized: Yaʿqub Urhāyā) (c. 640 – 5 June 708) was a Syriac Orthodox bishop of Edessa, scholar, and translator, regarded as one of the most influential Syriac Christian figures in the intellectual and ecclesiastical life of the early medieval Near East. Renowned for his multilingual mastery, he made lasting contributions to biblical revision, canon law, grammar and liturgy, and played a key role in standardizing theological terminology. His synthesis of Greek and Syriac traditions shaped the development of Syriac Christianity and facilitated the transmission of Hellenistic thought into the Islamic world. He is considered to be one of the most important scholars of the Christian-Aramean tradition.
