Bishops/Patriarchs of Alexandria

Notes

Note: I am willing to add the names and dates of Patriarchs since the 15th century, if someone will send them to me.

The table presents the following information

Date1: date of election/appointment/installation

Date2: date of death/exile/deposition
Under "Date",

beg = beginning of

btw = between

dep = deposed

end = end of

exile = exiled

prob = probably

Name: Name of holder of position. Since many patriarchs held the title more than once, the (ºnumber) inside parentheses indicates which of various times this particular time is.

Saint: if the holder was later celebrated in calendars.

Feast Day(s): Date on which celebration was/is held.

CAVEATS

Since canonization was long a haphazard affair in the Orthodox Church, the indicated saintliness of the various patriarchs, based on a variety of pieces of information is not meant to be definitive in this listing. Corrections and suggestions welcome.
