abstract
  • The School of Nisibis was an educational establishment in Nisibis, the spiritual center of the early Assyrian Church of the East, and like Gundeshapur, it is sometimes referred to as the world's first university. The School had three primary departments teaching Theology, Philosophy, and Medicine. The school was founded around 350 AD by Mar Jacob after the model of the school of Diodorus of Tarsus in Antioch. It was an ideal location for a Syriac school: located in the center of the Syriac speaking world, and still inside the Roman empire, which had just embraced Christianity. Most of Mesopotamia was under Sassanian Persian rule, which at that time tried to revive the Zoroastrian religion.
