INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy. Requests can be made to our Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases we have filmed the best available copy.

I am indebted to the United States Educational Foundation in Greece for its award of a Fulbright-Hays grant for 1975-76 without which this project would never have come to fruition. This grant allowed me to work at the Patriarchal Institute for Patristic Studies at the mona­ stery of Vlatadon in Thessaloniki and to examine other sources in Greek libraries and monasteries. I thank Mr. David Larsen, the direc­ tor of the foundation, and his staff for their introductions and sup­ port during my year in Greece. At t]ia..patriarchal Institute for Patristic Studies I wish to thank Professor Evangelos Chrysos, presiding director during the year of my stay, and Professor Panagiotes Christou, director, who was on leave. They allowed me to examine and work with the microfilm collection of manuscripts from Mount Athos and gave me full access to the Institute's library facilities. To Professor Chrysos I am especially grateful for his letters of introduction and for his support throughout my stay and after my return to the United States. At the University of Thessaloniki I acknowledge the help of Pro­ fessors loannes Foundoules, Christos Patrinelis, and Linos Politis for their information and introductions, and I am indebted to the univer­ sity for permission to use sources at the Library of the School of Theology. iii In Athens I wish to express my thanks to the National Library for permission to examine sources in the manuscript division and to the Gennadius Library for access to secondary literature. Also in Athens, I wish to thank Mr. Markos Dragoumis for his interest, information, and support of my project and for his introductions to other Byzantine musicologists. I am grateful to the following Byzantine musicologists who granted me interviews, literature, information, and favo'*s in con­ nection with my work: Bishop Dionysios Psarianos, Manolis Chatzigia- koumis, Grigorios Stathis, Simon Karras, Michael Adamis, and Panagiotes Trempelas, especially the latter, who at his age took the time to meet with me on several occasions. At Meteora near Kalambaka I am grateful to the librarians of the monasteries of the Great Metamorphoseos and Varlam for their assistance and for allowing me to examine manuscripts. A special thanks is directed to the monks of the Great Metamorphoseos for their generosity and hospitality to my husband and myself during our stay there. In Canada I am grateful to Professor Dimitri Conomos of the Uni­ versity of British Columbia for his guidance, for providing call num­ bers of various manuscripts, and for information on literature which might otherwise have not come to my attention. In the United States I am indebted to The Ohio State University for the financial support of a University Fellowship. A special thanks is also extended to my professors of the Department of Music History in the School of Music who sent letters of support for this project to several foundations. Acknowledgement is also due to The Ohio State University libraries and to the interlibrary loan services. iv I am grateful for the use of library facilities at the Dumbarton Oaks Center for Byzantine Studies in Washington, D.C. during my short stay there. I am appreciative to the librarian Ms. Irene Vaslef for forwarding materials to me from Dumbarton Oaks. I would like to express my deepest appreciation to Professor Richard Hoppin of The Ohio State University and Professor Milo^ Velimirovid of the University of Virginia. I thank Professor Velimiro­ vid especially for introducing me to Byzantine music and for his con­ stant support and guidance of my work in that area. I am greatly indebted to him for being one of my advisors on this project, even though he is in no way associated with The Ohio State University. To Professor Hoppin I wish to express my gratitude for his continued advice, support, and assistance throughout the first year of his re­ tirement. I owe much to both men for their counsel and encouragement. Finally, I would like to express my warmest thanks to my mother and to my husband for their sacrifices and for their support and confi­ dence in me which brought this project to completion.

    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…”).

    Liturgy As Ethicizer: Cultivating Ecological Consciousness Through a Coptic Orthodox Liturgical Ethos

    Sacred Heart University DigitalCommons@SHU Catholic Studies Faculty Publications Catholic Studies 2020 Liturgy as Ethicizer: Cultivating Ecological Consciousness through a Coptic Orthodox Liturgical Ethos Stephen M. Meawad Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.sacredheart.edu/cath_fac Part of the Christian Denominations and Sects Commons, Environmental Studies Commons, and the Ethics in Religion Commons 1 Stephen M. Meawad Liturgy as Ethicizer: Cultivating Ecological Consciousness through a Coptic Orthodox Liturgical Ethos 1 – Introduction Eastern Orthodox Christianity’s recent expression of its ecological concern has been vast and strong, evidenced by its designation of September 1st as a day of prayer for the “protection of the environment” and also through the scholarly contributions of more than a dozen theologians and religious figures, including Patriarch Bartholomew, Elizabeth Theokritoff, and John Chryssavgis.1 Much of this witness can and does extend to Oriental Orthodoxy in numerous respects.2 Among others, some examples include similarities in the doctrine of creation, proper relation to non-human animals, spiritual degradation as a precursor to ecological degradation, and extending love of neighbor to include all of creation. Yet, analyzing ways that other families of Orthodoxy conceive of the relationship between ecology and theology—a promising endeavor—has remained largely untapped contemporarily. This project will examine the liturgical ethos of the Coptic Orthodox Church and how this ethos is effective in creating self-sustaining, ecologically aware communities. A more comprehensive version of this project would develop what might be called a politeia (behavior or ethos of a given community) of the Coptic Orthodox Church that would include monasticism and asceticism; fasting; agriculture and co-stewardship; and self-sustenance.
  • The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy

    The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy

    THE CONSTITUTION ON THE SACRED LITURGY Sacrosanctum Concilium, 4 December, 1963 INTRODUCTION 1. The sacred Council has set out to impart an ever-increasing vigor to the Christian life of the faithful; to adapt more closely to the needs of our age those institutions which are subject to change; to foster whatever can promote union among all who believe in Christ; to strengthen whatever can help to call all mankind into the Church's fold. Accordingly it sees particularly cogent reasons for undertaking the reform and promotion of the liturgy. 2. For it is the liturgy through which, especially in the divine sacrifice of the Eucharist, "the work of our redemption is accomplished,1 and it is through the liturgy, especially, that the faithful are enabled to express in their lives and manifest to others the mystery of Christ and the real nature of the true Church. The Church is essentially both human and divine, visible but endowed with invisible realities, zealous in action and dedicated to contemplation, present in the world, but as a pilgrim, so constituted that in her the human is directed toward and subordinated to the divine, the visible to the invisible, action to contemplation, and this present world to that city yet to come, the object of our quest.2 The liturgy daily builds up those who are in the Church, making of them a holy temple of the Lord, a dwelling-place for God in the Spirit,3 to the mature measure of the fullness of Christ.4 At the same time it marvelously increases their power to preach Christ and thus show forth the Church, a sign lifted up among the nations,5 to those who are outside, a sign under which the scattered children of God may be gathered together 6 until there is one fold and one shepherd.7 _______________________________________________________ 1.

Understanding the Byzantine Musical System Using Western Notation and Theory or Name That Tone! by Stanley Takis Most Greek Orthodox church musicians have seen references to “tones” and “modes” in liturgical texts and choir music. But many ask the question, “What are they?” How do you recognize one tone from another? What exactly is a mode? Are modes and tones the same thing? Why do chanters use those squiggly lines while choirs use “real” music? This article provides some observations and information to help “tone-deaf” or “non-mode- ivated” persons understand more of the Byzantine musical system which has been part of Orthodox hymnology from the earliest days. During the first centuries of the Church, our music was greatly influenced by the religious music of the synagogue and the secular music of the Syrians and the Greeks. This ancient music contained a multitude of scales and styles. It was St. John of Damascus who codified a system of eight musical styles, selected because they were not too theatrical or worldly and they helped create a prayerful attitude in the faithful. This system is called the octoechos (eight tones).

  • Liturgical Functions of Late Byzantine Art: an Analysis of the Thessaloniki Epitaphios

    Liturgical Functions of Late Byzantine Art: an Analysis of the Thessaloniki Epitaphios

    Issue 5 2016 Funding for Vexillum provided by The Medieval Studies Program at Yale University Issue 5 Available online at http://vexillumjournal.org/ Liturgical Functions of Late Byzantine Art: An Analysis of the Thessaloniki Epitaphios JUDITH SHANIKA PELPOLA STANFORD UNIVERSITY The Thessaloniki Epitaphios, a late Byzantine embroidered textile, is an important piece to consider in the study of Byzantine art and its role in liturgy. In this paper, I undertake a stylistic and formalistic analysis of the inscriptions, depiction of the humanity of Christ, and treatment of time in the Thessaloniki Epitaphios to determine if the Epitaphios had liturgical rather than simply symbolic functions, thus helping contextualize Byzantine art within the Western canon. Analyzing the potential for the liturgical function of this piece additionally sheds light onto how Byzantine art itself should be classified with regards to the Western canon. Introduction The role of late Byzantine pieces in liturgical rites has been subject to a longstanding debate in the field, with one of the most recent subjects of this discussion being the Thessaloniki Epitaphios (see Figure 1). A silk on linen textile, the Epitaphios originates from Thessaloniki, Greece, circa 1300.1 Located on a trade route that connected Constantinople and Durazzo on the Adriatic, Thessaloniki was a key commercial port and site for religious pilgrimage in late Byzantium.2 Several stylistic features, in particular the expressiveness of the figures, suggest the Epitaphios was produced during the late Byzantine Palaiologan Dynasty (1259-1453), under which Thessaloniki reached its cultural height, and when there was a significant emphasis in the culture on liturgical rites.3 Thus, artworks created during the Palaiologan Dynasty invites scrutiny with respect to their roles as active participants in liturgical rites.
  • Little Compline for Akathist Saturday

    Little Compline for Akathist Saturday

    The Office of Little Compline with the Akathist Canon and Hymn **As served on the fifth Friday of Great Lent** **Instructions** An icon of the Theotokos (preferably the one described in the Synaxarion below) is placed on a stand in the middle of the solea. The candles are lit and the church is semi-illumined. The censer is used only for the stases of the Akathist Hymn. The curtain and Holy Doors are closed until the priest begins the first stasis of the Akathist Hymn. The priest wears a blue epitrachelion over his exorasson and starts Little Compline in front of the icon. Priest: Blessed is our God always, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Choir: Amen. Priest: Glory to Thee, O God, glory to Thee. O heavenly King, the Comforter, Spirit of Truth, Who art in all places, and fillest all things, Treasury of good things, and Giver of life, come, and dwell in us, and cleanse us from every stain; and save our souls, O good One. People: Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal: have mercy on us. (THRICE) Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; both now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen. All-holy Trinity, have mercy on us. Lord, cleanse us from our sins. Master, pardon our iniquities. Holy God, visit and heal our infirmities for Thy Name’s sake. Lord, have mercy.
