Samuel Giamil (1847–1917) (Arabic: شموئيل جميل, romanized: Shmuʾel Jamīl) was an Assyrian scholar, polyglot and a Chaldean Catholic monk.
[1] He was the superior of the Monastery of Notre Dame des Semences near Alqosh from 1890 to 1917[2] and wrote numerous scholarly works in Arabic, Latin, and Italian, and translated and published many important Syriac manuscripts.
In 1892, he accompanied Toma Audo (d. 1918), the Archbishop of the Urmia Archeparchy, to the mountain villages for the purpose of healing a schism that developed in the church.
[3] In 1902, he published the "Genuinae relationes", an important and scholarly collection of dealings of the Vatican with the Church of the East between thirteenth and nineteenth centuries.
[6] Between 1885 and 1902, he had also been the scribe of several manuscripts, including the text used by Chabot in Life of Rabban Joseph Busnaya of Yohannan Bar Kaldun.
