Шаблон:Short description David (Шаблон:Lang-syr) was a monk, bishop and historian of the Church of the East in the 7th or 8th century.

Originally a monk of Beth Abe,Шаблон:Sfn he later became the bishop of the Kurdish tribes in the region of Kartaw.[1] This region was located in Upper Mesopotamia, in the north of Adiabene, west of the Lower Zab and north of Erbil.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn He was writing no earlier than the reign of Hnanisho I, patriarch of the Church of the East from 686 to 698.Шаблон:Sfn

David wrote in Syriac a work known as the Little Paradise (Шаблон:Lang-syr) to distinguish it from the Paradise of the Fathers of Palladius of Galatia and the Paradise of the Orientals of Joseph Hazzaya.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn It is presumed lost.Шаблон:Sfn According to Thomas of Marga in chapter XXI of his Book of Governors, David wrote at the request of a Persian nobleman named Khuznahir, a Christian from Bashosh (near Shalmash).Шаблон:Sfn The Little Paradise was a series of "histories" of Mesopotamian ascetics beginning with George bar Sayyadhe, who was the ninth abbot of Beth Abe in 590.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn It certainly also contained biographies of the next four abbots of Beth Abe: George's brother and successor, Sama of Neshra; Nathaniel; Selibha the Aramaean; and Gabriel, called the Little Sparrow, who flourished in the late seventh century.Шаблон:Sfn It does not appear to have been an extensive work, more probably having a "bite-size, compilatory structure."Шаблон:Sfn It was probably conceived as a companion volume to Enanisho's Syriac edition of Palladius.Шаблон:Sfn Thomas of Marga cites it in his chapter XXIV concerning a famine that took place during the youth of John of Daylam.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn David's work is also cited in the metrical history of Beth Qoqa by John bar Zobi.Шаблон:Sfn

Several modern authorsШаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn identify the David who was bishop of the Kurds and author of the Little Paradise with David of Beth Rabban, who was active during the reign of Timothy I (780–823).Шаблон:Sfn Carl Anton Baumstark and Sebastian Brock, however, clearly distinguish the two.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
