Pope John XIII of Alexandria was the 94th Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of the See of St. Mark from 1484 to 1524.[1][2] Little is known of him except for his long reign of over forty years, and that his patriarchate witnessed the downfall of the Mamluk Sultanate and the rise of Ottoman power in Egypt.[2]
