Mar Shimun XI Eshuyow was the sixth Patriarch of the Chaldean Catholic Church, from 1638 to 1656.[1]
He succeeded Patriarch Shimun X Eliyah.[2] The seat of the patriarchate of Babylon of the Chaldean Catholic church being in Salmas during his reign.
Mar Shimun XI Eshuyow like his predecessor Shimun X Eliyah was not formally recognized by Rome, after the hereditary Shimun line of Patriarchs was reintroduced by Patriarch Shimun IX Dinkha.[2] Hereditary succession is an unacceptable practice by the Roman Catholic Church.
His successor was Shimun XII Yoalaha (1656–1662).[3]
