Pope Jacob of Alexandria, also known as James, was the 50th Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of the See of St. Mark from 819 to 830.[1][2]
Pope Jacob ordained Abuna Yohannes as the head of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, according to the History of the Patriarchs of Alexandria; however, civil war, drought, and plague in Ethiopia forced Yohannes to return to Alexandria, where he remained through Pope Jacob's tenure.
