Dimitrievsky's Typikon Volumes Overview of Typikon codices according to Dimitrievsky (T. I and III: Τυπικά) See for extensive information concerning the life and liturgical works of Aleksij A. Dimitrievsky (1856–1929) the website Logike Latreia by Fr, Michael Zheltov: http://www.mhzh.ru/en/author/36/Dmitrievsky. Procedure for large scale Typikon codex studies Typikon research on a large catalogue scale begins by studying the formidable Typikon explorations of the Russian scholar Dimitrievsky in his multi-volume Opisanie liturgitseskich rukopisei [Description of liturgical manuscripts] (Vols. I 1895, III 1917). - Step 1 is to provide an overview of Dimitrievsky's ground-breaking work. - Step 2 is to check the Typikon codices listed in Dimitrievsky; present location, library code, dating [see Richard/Olivier]. - Step 3 is to add new editions and studies to the Typikon codices presented in Dimitrievsky. - Step 4 is the set up of Tables of the Typikon codices presented in Dimitrievsky, according to their libraries (collection context). - Step 5 is to add Typikon codices not included in Dimitrievsky. - Step 6 is to evaluate Dimitrievsky's codex-liturgical postulates with regard to CBM catalography also taking the Foreword (Predislovie) in Volume I into account. Of special interest in Dimitrievsky's volumes are: - the collection of a great number of available Typikon codices kept in libraries in East and West (176 Typika in total). - the provision of complete or partial contents of Typikon codices in Greek transcription (massive provision of texts). - the provision of complete codex titles of a variety of Typikon codices. - the regional grouping of Typikon codices (Jerusalem, Constantinople, Sinai) - the distinction between patriarchal and monastic (including monastic foundation documents) Typika codification traditions. - the study of Synaxarion-Typikon codices together with Ktetorikon (monastic foundation) codices. - the historical presentation of integral Typikon codices from the 9th to the 19th century (ongoing handwritten tradition). In setting up a list of one codex type (in its various modalities), in this case the Typikon, the scholar focuses on the type and subtypes and the codex-historical growth and diversity of the codex type. Typikon manuscripts continued to be written in monasteries in the East until far into the 19th and even into the 20th century, because liturgical life continued. The particularities of some monastic traditions were written down for future generations of monks, as had always been the case. Lost is, however, when one gathers all exemplars of the Typikon, the living liturgical context: how the typikon was used in any one specific church or monastery. For this reason it is also our task to focus on the liturgical provenance, to collect the various codex types which belong to one and the same library collection and to study their interaction. Typika which still belong to monastic collections are particularly interesting: Monastery of St. Catherine at Sinai, Monastery of St. John the Theologian, the Monasteries on Mount Athos. Extremely valuable for the Typikon codex type is the study of liturgical connections and interactions, because the essence of the Typikon is to direct all interactions of different codices and the readings from them. Especially the relationship with the Evangelion, Apostolos, Psalterion, Prophetologion, Horologion, Euchologian, Synaxarion (Hagiology), is of particular interest for the historical evolution of the Typikon and its guiding function. Dimitrievsky's Typikon & Euchologion volumes A. A. Dimitrievsky, Описаніе литургическихъ рукописей, хранящихся въ библіотекахъ Православнаго Востока [Description of the liturgical manuscripts kept in the Libraries of the Orthodox East], T. I. Τυπικά, Kiev, 1895; T. II. Εὐχολόγια, Kiev 1901; T. III. Τυπικά, 2; Petrograd, 1917. [Repr. Hildesheim, 1965 3 vols.] Two volumes concern Typikon manuscripts (Vol. I and III), and one volume Euchologion manuscripts (162 Euchologion codices in total). Since Typikon research is fundamental to the research of all other Byzantine codex types, it was, from a methodological point of view, quite correct to place the group of Typikon codices at the head of all other groups. Moreover, since the Euchologion contributes considerably to the "Typikon", the three Liturgies have a descriptive place in Typikon codices (but only in connection with the other offices. More extensive "Typikon instructions" (rubrics) were included in the group of Euchologion codices. This was necessary with regard to the performance of the Liturgies and the other services of the Sacraments (the Mysteria of the Church), which formed the heart of all celebrations. The three volumes collected by Dimitrievsky, two concerning the Typikon and the Euchologion in the middle, together constitute the "Typikon" in the broader sense of the word. These volumes are based on extensive research of Typikon codices kept in the libraries of Eastern Orthodox monasteries and churches, including: □ Sinai, Monastery of St. Catherine □ Patmos, Monastery of St. John the Theologian □ Jerusalem, Patriarchal Library □ Istanbul, Library of the Ecumenical Patriarchate □ Athens, National Library □ Athos, Libraries of the Monasteries and Sketes Fortunately, Dimitrievsky also included Typikon manuscripts which are kept in libraries in the West: □ Vatican, Vatican Library □ Vienna, National Library □ Florence, Laurentian Library □ Venice, Marcian Library Content Volume I (1895): Foreword (Predislovie) p.

  • THO 3347 (H 2015) – Glossary of Terms
    THO 3347 (H 2015) – Glossary of Terms Akathist Literally, “not standing.” A hymn dedicated to our Lord, the Theotokos, a saint, or a holy event. Aposticha The stichera sung with psalm verses at the end of Vespers and Matins. These differ from the stichera at Psalm 140 (Vespers) and at the Praise Psalms (Matins), which are sung with fixed psalms, in that the psalm verses used (pripivs) vary with the day or feast, and do not end the singing of the whole psalm. See also stichery na stichovnych. Archieratikon Тhе book containing texts and rubrics for the solemn Hierarchical (a.k.a. Pontifical) Divine Liturgy. The Archieratikon also contains the sacrament of Ноlу Orders and special blessings and consecrations. Canon A system of nine odes (the Second Ode is sung only during Great Lent) sung at Matins after Psalm 50 and before the Praises. Each ode is connected traditionally with a scriptural canticle (see below for the nine scriptural canticles) and consists of an Irmos, a variable number of troparia and, on feasts, a katavasia. After the Third Ode a sidalen is usually sung, and after the Sixth Ode a kontakion and ikos, and after the Ninth Ode, the Svitelen is sung. The Canon has its own system of eight tones. Domatikon A theotokion sung after “Now…” (or “Glory… Now…”) at the end of Psalms 140, 141, 129, and 116 at Vespers on Friday and Saturday evenings, and on the eve of a Polyeleos saint or saints with a vigil in the same tone as the last sticheron of the saint (at “Glory…”).

  • Glossary of Liturgical Books (Resource Sheet 73)
    Glossary of Liturgical Books (Resource Sheet 73) The Anthologion is a liturgical text that tries to encompasses as much of the basic liturgical text as as possible. An example of this text in Greek is the Synekthimos. A Slavonic example is the Velikij Sbnornik. The closest thing we have in English is the text:"Divine Prayers and Services of the Catholic Orthodox Church of Christ", by Fr. Seraphim Nassar—commonly known as "The Nassar Five-Pounder." Anthologia usually contain the daily the basic text of the Horologion, the Sunday Octoechos, the General Menaion, and Selections from the Menaion, Triodion, and Pentecostarion. The Apostolos ('book of the apostle'), also called the Epistle Lectionary, is the book containing prescribed readings from the Acts of the Apostles and the Epistles, arranged according to the Orthodox liturgical year. The lections are used in the first scripture reading in the Divine Liturgy, usually called the Epistle reading. This lectionary often includes the prokeimena and alleluias that are sung before and after the epistle reading, respectively. The Archieratikon ("book for the bishop," also spelled Arkhieratikon), is the bishop's liturgical service book. It is used in celebrating a Hierarchical Divine Liturgy, having pontifical editions of the Divine Liturgies of St. John Chrysostom and St. Basil the Great, as well as the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts, and other episcopal services, such as ordinations. Also known as the Tetraevangelion, the Evangelion is the Book of Gospels, usually arranged by the pericopes appointed to be read throughout the liturgical year. It is generally kept on the altar table in a metal case decorated with icons of the evangelists; tradition forbids the use of animal skin on the altar table.

  • The Byzantine Euchologion
    The Byzantine Euchologion by George N. Filias - rev. Theodoros J. Koumarianos University of Athens The Euchologion is a codex that contains a collection of prayers. The composite word is made from the Greek words εὐχή (prayer) and λόγιον (collection). It is the Prayer Book used bishops, priests and deacons for all kinds of Ἀκολουθίαι in the Byzantine Rite, such as the Holy Mysteries, the Offices and other Prayers. In this article Filias first discusses the content of the Euchologion followed by its origins, evolution and history. He places the manuscript tradition into groups according to textual content. Focus is then given to the liturgical function of the Euchologion and related codex structures with examples of problems concerning nomenclature. The article ends with an outline of scholarly research in particular most recent studies along with a useful appendix exhibiting the contents of a Euchologion. The text of each Prayer in the Euchologion almost always contains references to scriptural passages and biblical events, as well as praises and thanksgiving to God for His benefactions, and finally petitions to God. Every single Prayer is constructed in a dialogical form between God and man. Prayers are usually written down in small groups, each group constituting a different Service, such as the Holy Liturgy, the rite of Baptism, Vespers, Matins, the Great Blessing of Waters on Theophany, the rite of Matrimony, and the Burial Service. A Euchologion also includes rubrics or liturgical instructions for the proper performance of Services, independent from the rest of its contents. During the first five centuries there was freedom in the recitation of Prayers, and writing them down for reciting was unnecessary.

  • A Concise Glossary of the Genres of Eastern Orthodox Hymnography
    Journal of the International Society for Orthodox Church Music Vol. 4 (1), Section III: Miscellanea, pp. 198–207 ISSN 2342-1258 https://journal.fi/jisocm A Concise Glossary of the Genres of Eastern Orthodox Hymnography Elena Kolyada [email protected] The Glossary contains concise entries on most genres of Eastern Orthodox hymnography that are mentioned in the article by E. Kolyada “The Genre System of Early Russian Hymnography: the Main Stages and Principles of Its Formation”.1 On the one hand the Glossary is an integral part of the article, therefore revealing and corroborating its principal conceptual propositions. However, on the other hand it can be used as an independent reference resource for hymnographical terminology, useful for the majority of Orthodox Churches worldwide that follow the Eastern Rite: Byzantine, Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian et al., as well as those Western Orthodox dioceses and parishes, where worship is conducted in English. The Glossary includes the main corpus of chants that represents the five great branches of the genealogical tree of the genre system of early Christian hymnography, together with their many offshoots. These branches are 1) psalms and derivative genres; 2) sticheron-troparion genres; 3) akathistos; 4) canon; 5) prayer genres (see the relevant tables, p. 298-299).2 Each entry includes information about the etymology of the term, a short definition, typological features and a basic statement about the place of a particular chant in the daily and yearly cycles of services in the Byzantine rite.3 All this may help anyone who is involved in the worship or is simply interested in Orthodox liturgiology to understand more fully specific chanting material, as well as the general hymnographic repertoire of each service.

  • Post-Communial Sticheron in the Byzantine-Slavic Liturgical Formularies: Musical and Liturgical Aspects
    Proceedings of the 10th WSEAS International Conference on ACOUSTICS & MUSIC: THEORY & APPLICATIONS Post-Communial Sticheron in the Byzantine-Slavic Liturgical Formularies: Musical and Liturgical Aspects ŠIMON MARINČÁK ‘Michael Lacko’ Center of Spirituality East-West University of Trnava Komenského 14, 04001 Košice SLOVAKIA [email protected] Abstract: – Liturgical formularies of the Byzantine (or Constantinopolitan) tradition have undergone many intercalations and omissions that have modified its actual cursus during the centuries. Post-Communial Sticheron ‘We have seen the true light’ belongs to more recent additions and have not been explained satisfactorily yet. This chant has not been a stable part of the liturgical formulary before 17th century and its insertion and stabilization after the Communion rites is still quite obscure. Interesting is its musical mutation from the original Octoechal modal musical system to a system of a free composition is some cultural traditions, again, not explained satisfactorily yet. This paper will bring the historical overview that will set into chronological table the process of accession of this sticheron into the Byzantine liturgical formularies, as well as the comparison of various musical models both Octoechal and compositional. Key Words: – Music, Liturgy, Byzantine, Chant, Rite, Eucharistic Formulary. 1 Introduction of the Little Vespers or Lord, I have cried of the Byzantine Church as direct descendant of the pure Great Vespers on Saturday evening before the Constantinopolitan tradition [1] uses three feast of Pentecost (eighth Sunday after the Pascha) principal liturgical formularies: liturgy of St Basil [3]. It is inserted into Byzantine liturgies of CHR the Great (henceforth the BAS), liturgy of St John and BAS and is performed right after the Chrysostom (henceforth the CHR), and liturgy of communion rites.

  • Explanation of NWO Typikon Co-Project
    Towards the construction of a catalogue of Byzantine liturgical codices (NWO dossier number IG-10-005) Clarification of the central research question and focus of the proposed project In the following note we will set out the central research problem to be tackled by the two year preparatory trajectory that is to lead to an International catalogue of Byzantine liturgical codices programme. What is the central research focus? 1. The main aim of the research project to be developed is to catalogue the Byzantine liturgical manuscripts (the codex forms Typikon; Euchologion; Horologion; Triodion; Pentekostarion; Menaia, etc.). We are currently already seriously approaching codicological research of the Byzantine New Testament and hermeneutic manuscripts, in the form of an international, interdisciplinary cataloguing project based on new codico-liturgical parameters which takes into consideration and does fully justice to the character of the codices as well as to the liturgical settings for which by far the majority of them were intended. Given the importance of the liturgy and the overlap between the Biblical and the liturgical manuscripts it is strongly felt by the current research group and by other voices from the field, that a cataloguing focus now also on the liturgical codices is essential to strengthen this research effort. 2. The leading focus of the research is that the codicological forms of the Byzantine manuscripts that accommodate biblical, patristic and liturgical texts (the way the codices are structured as far as their content is concerned), are closely related to the liturgical function and purpose of the texts incorporated therein. This function has to date not been methodologically approached.

  • THE EVERGETIS TYPIKON and ITS LITURGICAL WHOLENESS AS an IMPORTANT INSTRUMENT in CODICO-LITURGICAL STUDIES
    THE EVERGETIS TYPIKON and ITS LITURGICAL WHOLENESS AS AN IMPORTANT INSTRUMENT IN CODICO-LITURGICAL STUDIES by Joan Lena Protestant Theological University, Amsterdam The liturgical typikon is the codex that synchronises all codices used in the services of the Byzantine Church. Dating from the 12th century the Evergetis Typikon is one of the oldest and most comprehensive documents that details the liturgical practice of a coenobitic monastery founded in 11th century Constantinople. This liturgical typikon is the culmination of the liturgical traditions and practices of the Evergetis Monastery. It is not a document formulated at the foundation of the monastery. The person in charge of liturgical services used the liturgical typikon on a daily basis to make sure the liturgical synaxeis were accomplished in the correct way. The manuscript Athens, National Library of Greece 788 which transmits the liturgical typikon also contains the foundation document of the Evergetis monastery but the present paper focuses on the liturgical typikon, which makes up the bulk of the codex. The author has worked on photographs of the codex itself, but also has consulted in the main part the latest edition of the liturgical document by R. H. Jordan: The Synaxarion of the monastery of the Theotokos Evergetis, Text and Translation (Belfast Byzantine texts and Translations), volumes 1-3, (Belfast, 2000, 2005, 2007). The Evergetis typikon is divided into two sections. The first follows the fixed calendar (September-August) and the second follows the moveable calendar although in a restricted form as only the Triodion and Pentekostarion are included. Such an order is at odds with the Apostolos and Evangelion codices, which have first the moveable calendar then the fixed one.
