Jacobites - Jacob is (English spelling) Jacobites

Japanese: ヤコブ派 - ヤコブは（英語表記）Jacobites

A sect of Monophysite belief that was established in Syria. The church is officially called the Syrian Orthodox Church, but is commonly called the Jacobites after its 6th-century organizer, James Baradaeus. The Syrian Monophysites, who broke away from the Syrian Orthodox Church at the end of the Council of Chalcedon (451), were subject to repeated persecution and had difficulty forming their own church. However, in the mid-6th century, thanks to the efforts of James Baradaeus, they were able to organize the church and expand their influence in the East, competing with the Nestorians. Their liturgical language was Syriac, and their theology was of a high level.

シリアで成立した単性論を奉じる一派。その教会は正式にはシリア正教会と呼ばれるが，6世紀の組織者ヤコブ･バラダイオスの名にちなんで一般にヤコブ派と称する。カルケドン公会議(451)の結果離反したシリアの単性論派は，たび重なる迫害にさらされ，独自の教会の形成がむずかしかったが，6世紀中葉になってヤコブ･バラダイオスの努力で教会の組織を整え，東方でネストリウス派と対抗しながら教勢を伸ばした。典礼用語はシリア語で，神学の水準も高かった。
