Successive events[edit]

After Shahbaddin's death on 4 March 1702, the clergy remained in prison in Adana till early 1704. During their captivity, on 23 November 1703, they elected as new Patriarch the maphrian and Archbishop of Nineveh Isaac Basilios Joubeir (or Basil Ishaq ibn Jubair, c. 1645–1721), who at the time was in Istanbul in the French consulate. He was later confirmed as Patriarch on 17 November 1704 by Rome.[9] But he refused to accept the patriarchal title anyway and continued to consider himself only as a Maphrian, waiting for a better time.[2] In 1706 he moved to Rome where he died on 18 May 1721.[8] The Syrian Catholic Church had a new Patriarch only in 1783 with Ignatius Michael III Jarweh.
