Mar '''Joseph II Sliba Maruf''' (or ''Youssef II Sliba Bet Macruf'') was the second incumbent of the ''Josephite'' line of [[Church of the East]], a little patriarchate in [[Full Communion]] with the [[pope]] active in the areas of [[Amid]] and [[Mardin]] in the 17th-19th century, thus being the Patriarch of the [[Chaldean Catholic Church]] from 1696 to 1713.

==Life==

Sliba Maruf was born in 1667<ref name="Giga">{{cite web|url=http://www.gcatholic.org/dioceses/diocese/baby0.htm|title=Patriarchal See of Babylon|publisher=www.gcatholic.org|accessdate=2009-02-01}}</ref> in [[Tel Keppe]], [[Iraq]], received first orders at fourteen<ref name="Murre">{{cite web|url=http://syrcom.cua.edu/Hugoye/Vol2No2/HV2N2Murre.html|title=The Patriarchs of the Church of the East from the Fifteenth to Eighteenth Centuries|publisher=Hugoye: Journal of Syriac Studies|accessdate=2009-01-24|author=Heleen H.L. Murre}}</ref> and was consecrated bishop, without the previous consent of Rome, at the age of 24 in 1691 by [[Joseph I (Chaldean Patriarch)|Joseph I]].<ref name="Frazee"/>{{rp|209}} He was chosen by Joseph I as his successor in 1694, but this appointment became effective only when [[Rome]] accepted his predecessor resignation in 1696. Thus Sliba Maruf was confirmed patriarch by [[Holy See]] on June 18, 1696,<ref name="Frazee"/>{{rp|209}} with the name of Joseph II.

As happened for Joseph I, his ministry had to face the strong opposition of the traditionalists.<ref name="Wilmshurst">{{cite book |last=David |first=Wilmshurst |title=The Ecclesiastical Organisation of the Church of the East, 1318-1913 |publisher=Peeters Publishers |year=2000 |isbn=978-90-429-0876-5}}</ref>{{rp|26}} This forced him in 1708 to ask permission to Rome to resign and move to [[Italy]], a request that was not granted.

During the plague that spread from 1708 he distinguish himself for the help and the pastoral care he offered to the sicks<ref name="Wilmshurst"/>{{rp|58}} until he too was infected.
Early in 1713 he choose as successor [[Joseph III (Chaldean Patriarch)|Timothy Maroge]] and died of plague a few months later in 1713<ref name="Frazee">{{cite book|last=Frazee|first=Charles A.|title=Catholics and Sultans: The Church and the Ottoman Empire 1453-1923|year=2006|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-0-521-02700-7}}</ref>{{rp|209}}<ref name="Wilmshurst"/>{{rp|52}} (or according to other sources in 1712) at the age of 46.

==Works==

Joseph is remembered as [[Syriac language|Syriac]] and [[Arab language|Arab]] writer and for having translated many texts from [[Latin]]. His ''Speculum tersum'' (''Book of the pure Mirror'') was translated from Syriac into Latin by I. A. Assemani and is conserved in the [[Vatican Library]].<ref>[[Vatican Library]], segn.
