Who was Ignatius Nemet Allah I?

Mor Ignatius Nemet Allah I was the Syriac Patriarch of Antioch from 1557 to 1576. A learned mathematician and astronomer, he is mostly known for his work on Pope Gregory XIII's commission on the reform of what would become the Gregorian Calendar. Because of this involvement, he was forced to abdicate by Islamic extremists and had to escape to Rome. He is most likely to have joined the Roman Catholic Church and have died shortly after that in 1587.
