The school was founded around 350 by Mar Jacob after the model of the school of Diodorus of Tarsus in Antioch. It was the perfect location for a Syriac school: located in the center of the Syriac speaking world, and still inside the Roman empire, which had just embraced Christianity. Most of Mesopotamia was under Sassanidian Persian rule, which at that time tried to revive the Zoroastrian religion.
