Abraham of Nathpar was an East Syrian author and ascetic from the region of Adiabene who wrote treatises on monasticism and contemplative theology. He was commemorated at an eponymous monastery in the same region. Abraham was a contemporary of Abraham of Kashkar and the former Abraham's writings played a role in the monastic reform in the Church of the East led by latter Abraham. Abraham of Nathpar's reputation also extended beyond the Church of the East. Some of his works circulated under the name of Evagrius of Pontus and can be found in West Syrian ascetic miscellanies under that name as well as attributed to Abraham himself.
At various points in the tradition, the pe [ܦ] and the tau [ܬ] in the name, Nathpar/Naphtar, have been transposed. The original form is unclear.
His life, which is lost today, was written in the seventh century by the monk Sawrīshō' Rustam.
On his monastery, see Fiey.
