Mar Shimun XVII Abraham (alsoSimon XVII Abraham orAuraham, 1800/01– 1861) served as theCatholicos-Patriarch of the Church of the East from c. 1820 to 1861.^[2]

He led the church fromQodshanis (modernKonak, Hakkari) in southeasternTurkey, and tried to maintain good relations with localOttoman authorities. In 1843, he was faced with renewed hostilities fromKurdish warlords, who attacked many Christian villages and killed 10,000 men, taking away women and children as captives, and forcing Patriarch to take refuge inMosul.^[3] He is buried in the Church of Mar Shalita in Turkey. He also bravely resisted theKurdish warlords, most prominent resistance being against the Kurdish Nurullah Beg in 1841, where Nurullah unsuccessfully tried to subdue theAssyrians who Shimun led.
