Eliya VIII (Syriac: ܐܠܝܐ / Elīyā, d. 18 June 1660) was Patriarch of the Church of the East from 1617 to 1660, with residence in Rabban Hormizd Monastery, near Alqosh, in modern Iraq. On several occasions (1619, 1629, 1638, 1653) he was approached by representatives of the Catholic Church, but those contacts didn't led to any agreement.[1][2] In older historiography, he was designated as Eliya VIII,[3] but later renumbered as Eliya "IX" by some authors.[4][5] After the resolution of several chronological questions, he was designated again as Eliya VIII,[6][7][8] and that numeration is accepted in recent scholarly works.[9][10][11][12][13][14][15]
