Nerses IV the Gracious (, also Nerses Shnorhali or Saint Nerses the Graceful), (1098 - 13 August 1173) - was Catholicos of Armenia (1166-1173), theologian, poet, writer and religious hymn composer. Nerses was born in 1100 A.D., a member of the noble Pahlavuni family, near present-day Aintab, Turkey. While in office, he moved the see of the Catholicos from Sis to Hromkla (Rum Kale). A more precise translation of his epithet "Shnorhali" is "filled with Grace".
