“The School of Nisibis was an E.-Syr. institution of learning founded in part by refugees
from the School of Edessa after the latter was forcibly closed by the religious and
political authorities in 489, because it had become an exegetical circle of dyophysite
Christians whose Antiochene theology was no longer welcome in a Roman Empire split
by Christological controversy.” 1
