Yaqob of India, also known as Mar Jacob, was a metropolitan bishop of the St Thomas Christians of Malabar.[1] The history and legends of the East Syriac prelates in India prior to the arrival of European explorers are shrouded in mystery because of the unavailability of surviving documents. The Vatican Syrian codex 22, the oldest surviving Syrian manuscript written in Malabar, specifically mentions an East Syriac bishop who was residing in Malabar at that time. According to this ancient document, (now in the Vatican Library), which was written by a Deacon named Zachariah bar Joseph address Mar Jacob as Metropolitan of Indian.[2][3]
