Monastery of Beth Abe

Monastery of Beth Abe (Classical Syriac: ܒܝܬ ܥܒܐ, romanized: beṯ ʿaḇe), was a monastery of the Church of the East in Marga in Upper Mesopotamia. It was founded by Rabban Jacob of Lashom (a suffragan diocese of Beth Garmaï) around 595.

The monastery played a major part in Syriac monasticism and was inhabited by several important figures in the Church of the East, such as Sahdona, John of Dailam, Shubhalishoʿ, Giwargis II and Abraham II. One monk, Thomas of Marga, wrote a history of the monastery. Another, David, Bishop of the Kurds, wrote a series of biographies of holy men known as the Little Paradise.
