High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Yohannan IV was Patriarch of the Church of the East from 900 to 905. Accounts of Yohannan's patriarchate are given in the Ecclesiastical Chronicle of the Jacobite writer Bar Hebraeus (floruit 1280) and in the ecclesiastical histories of the Nestorian writers Mari (twelfth-century), ?Amr (fourteenth-century) and Sliba (fourteenth-century). Bar Hebraeus devoted two paragraphs to Yohannan's patriarchate: The caliph issued a decree that the bishops should be free to choose whomever they wished as their leader, and Yohannan bar ?Isa was consecrated at Seleucia on the fifth feast day of the year 287 of the Arabs (AD 900/1). He was a man revered for his knowledge and continence. In his days the metropolitan Theodore of Beth Garmai was detected in fornication and deposed. The catholicus Yohannan, after he had fulfilled his office for nearly five years, died in the year 292 [AD 904/5]. The story goes that he never took a bribe for the laying on of hands, and led a life of very great poverty.
