Prayers Before the Prayer Book (I) 16:00 - 18:30 Tuesday, 20Th August, 2019 South School Presentation Type Workshop [No Author Data] Practice, Performance, Liturgy: Prayers before the Prayer Book (I) 16:00 - 18:30 Tuesday, 20th August, 2019 South School Presentation type Workshop [No author data] Discussant: Harald Buchinger The Euchologion, i.e. the Greek prayer book for the use of priests, combines eucharistic and sacramental rites with a large number of prayers for specific occasions of everyday life. It is first attested in manuscript form in the late eighth century in the Vatican manuscript Barberinus graecus 336. In Patristic studies, scholars often cite the Barberini Euchologion (ed. Parenti-Velkovska), or similarly the Typicon of the Great Church (ed. Mateos), as reflecting the prayer traditions and liturgical practices of earlier periods. One of the purposes of this workshop is to query if such an approach works by exploring the differences between earlier practices and the tradition established in later manuscripts. This sequence of two workshops brings together an international group of scholars to elucidate the period preceding thispivotal moment in the late eighth centuryfrom the angles of prayer practice, literary production, and material textuality. The first Workshop ‘Liturgy and Textuality’ explores the manifold connections between liturgical texts and other texts. The second Workshop ‘Tangible Prayers’ will focus on prayers in written form preserved in a variety of media, from stone amulets and papyri to parchment manuscripts. Taken together, these two Workshops will throw new light on the significance of the fixation in writing of prayer traditions of believers and of the liturgical traditions of the church. Papers will be 20 minutes in length, and pre-circulated among the speakers, to allow for fruitful, in-depth discussion. 135 Liturgical Manuscripts and the Performance of Prayer: Historical Lessons from Other Sources Claudia Rapp University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria. Austrian Academy of Sciences, Vienna, Austria Abstract Byzantine euchologia (prayer books) contain a large number of short prayers for everyday situations in family and community life. These offer potentially rich insights into daily life and social history across all levels of Byzantine society. But does the mere fact of the preservation of a prayer over the centuries in the manuscript tradition also indicate that it was still relevant? After an introduction to the work of the Vienna Euchologia Project, this question is addressed with recourse to lessons learned about oral transmission from the Apophthegmata Patrum, about normativity from the Codex Theodosianus, and about performance from the Byzantine Book of Ceremonies. 174 Text – Matter – Ritual: A historical and comparative perspective on select occasional prayers for Holy Week and Easter Harald Buchinger Universität Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany Abstract The development of the liturgical year in Late Antiquity was the effect of profound change: mimetic celebrations of particular events of the biblical history first appeared as a categorical innovation of the later fourth century and led to the introduction of unprecedented rites commemorating certain moments, stations and actions of the biblical narrative; but also after their institution, the shifting character of these liturgical rituals and their texts mirrors changing theological, cultural and historical attitudes, spiritualities, and conditions. This paper examines prayers for special celebrations of the liturgical year, notably Holy Week and Easter, and investigates the dynamic and variegated relation between text, matter, and ritual: how was the re- presentation of the biblical history effected in the symbolic interaction of the participants; which role was ascribed to the material elements within and beyond the festal rituals; which use and potential abuse can be discerned, and how does the development of the liturgies relate to changing historical and cultural circumstances? In the first part, phases of liturgical development, ritual use of matter, and characteristic genres of prayers are distinguished; the second and third parts examine those two kinds of “occasional” prayers which are first attested: Palm Sunday blessings and the benediction of the Easter lamb. 172 Prayers and Blessings for Holy Week in the ‘Occasional Prayers’ of the Byzantine Euchologion Daniel Galadza Sheptytsky Institute, University of St. Michael's College, Toronto, Canada. University of Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany Abstract From the fourth century onward, biblical events from Christ’s life were celebrated and remembered in liturgical rites that came to form the highpoint of the Christian liturgical year — Holy Week and Pascha. By the eighth century, prayers and rites for processions with palm branches on Palm Sunday, for preparing chrism and washing feet on Holy Thursday, and exorcisms for those preparing for baptism on Holy Saturday, are known in the earliest euchologion manuscript, Vatican Barberini Gr. 336. Within the following centuries, additional rites are also known in later euchologia. This paper surveys the corpus of prayers for Holy Week and Pascha found in euchologia manuscripts in the context of their biblical and patristic background, focusing on prayers for Palm Sunday and Easter. A preliminary examination reveals that prayers for Palm Sunday are more common in euchologia from Palestine and South Italy and initially emphasized preparation for Easter rather than the blessing of palms; prayers for Easter are focused on the blessing of meat, eggs, and cheese, and are found exclusively in euchologia from South Italy. Overall, the earliest manuscripts omit many of these prayers, focusing instead on prayers and rites associated with preparation for and the rites of baptism during Holy Week and Easter, while later manuscripts tend to transmit prayers for blessing objects, such as palm branches or food, revealing a tendency toward materializing the liturgical celebration in the transition from Late Antique to Medieval euchologia. 180 A Note on Liturgical Prayer Texts and Byzantine Hagiography Elisabeth Schiffer Austrian Academy of Sciences, Institut for Medieval Studies, Division of Byzantine Studies, Wien, Austria Abstract A Note on Liturgical Prayer Texts and Byzantine Hagiography It is a standard element in the repertoire of saints’ lives that someone in need for spiritual support or someone afflicted by health issues approaches a holy man to ask for advice, intercession or healing. In many instances, such a plea evokes a more or less spontaneous prayer said by the saint. Especially if the respective saint is a member of the clergy, there is the possibility that the words that are put into the saint’s mouth by the hagiographer show similarities with prayer texts that are also known from Byzantine liturgical prayer books (euchologia). This paper aims at tracing prayers spoken by protagonists of hagiographical texts on behalf of someone else in Byzantine hagiographical texts. Attention is directed to the common structure of the prayers in narrative and in liturgical texts and also to the figurative Biblical language of both, the narrative as well as the liturgical texts. Finally, also some references to attestations of the euchologion in non-liturgical Byzantine texts are provided. 167 First-Person Prayers attributed to the Church Fathers Ilias Nesseris Austrian Academy of Sciences, Vienna, Austria Abstract The numerous Byzantine and Post-Byzantine Euchologia may some times transmit along with the Eucharistic liturgies, other sacramental rites and the ‘occasional’ prayers –that were primarily concerned with a large array of different necessities and instances in the everyday life of the communities in which they were used– a small number of prayers that are commonly attributed to various Church Fathers, especially to Basil the Great and John Chrysostom. In stark contrast to the ‘occasional’ prayers the latter, usually penitential in character, do not address a communal need, but a strictly personal one. This is denoted not only by the obvious use of the first person singular throughout their text, but also by the lack of any mediation, which in the case of ‘occasional’ prayers is performed by the local priest or bishop. The aim of the paper is firstly to examine these prayers as literary artefacts and consequently address the issues of authorship, while also tackling the matter of their interpretation and contextualization within a liturgical framework: a close inspection can perhaps shed light on the question whether it is feasible to actually locate traces of an authorial voice in these texts, whereas a thorough examination of their language register is necessary in order to provide insights on the topic of their rhetorical quality; also the connection of these prayers to other manifestations of personal piety and devotion will be explored as well as any connection to or influence from the actual liturgical praxis. .

  • 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.

  • 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].

  • The Liturgical Books Used in Orthodox Worship Fall Into Three Main Groups
    LITURGICAL BOOKS The Liturgical books used in Orthodox worship fall into three main groups. The first of these are three books containing readings from Holy Scripture. These are the Book of Gospels, the Book of Epistles (Apostol), and the Book of Psalms (Psalter). BOOK OF GOSPELS. This book contains the text of the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) arranged in sections called pericopes (or zachalo in Russian). This book normally rests on the Holy Table, and is customarily treated in the same way as the Holy Icons, itself being regarded as an Icon of the Savior in His teaching ministry. BOOK OF EPISTLES (APOSTOL). This contains the readings from the Acts of the Apostles and the Epistles for the whole year i.e., the entire New Testament outside of the Gospels and the Apocalypse (Revelation) of St. John. It too is divided into pericopes and also includes the Prokeimena and Alleluia verses which precede and follow the Epistle readings. BOOK OF PSALMS (PSALTER). The Psalter contains the 150 Psalms of David, divided into twenty Kathismas, as well as the text of the Nine Biblical Canticles sung at Matins.

  • RUSSIAN CHURCH SINGING the System of Orthodox Liturgical Singing 23
    MMMMMM~ M~,~. The Essence of Liturgical Singing The differences in the structure of Orthodox sevices, as compared to the services of the Roman Catholic Church and, even more so, to those of various Protestant denominations, both determine and reBect divergent viewpoints concerning the significance of the musical element in worship, and hence, concerning the essence, forms and liturgical function of church music. Unless these differences are clearly identified from the start, one risks falling into various misconceptions which would ultimately lead to erroneous conclusions. The first question that must be answered is: What is Orthodox liturgical singing in essence, and what role does it play in Orthodox worship? Such a question may appear, at first glance, to be superfluous; the answer seems to be obvious without any further discussion neces­ sary: Orthodox liturgical singing is vocal music-music produced by human voices alone-, which, in conjunction with words, accompanies worship services. This answer is understandable if one considers ex­ clusively the choral singing found in the Russian Orthodox Church during approximately the last three centuries. Thus, one often hears mention, especially in non-Orthodox circles, of "Orthodox church music," to which all of the concepts concerning music in general can be applied. Even present-day Orthodox tend to view their liturgical singing simply as a category of vocal music (and a rather insignificant one even in that capacity), in which one can observe the same musical-aesthetic relationships found in secular music-the only such relationships recognized. As a consequence of this viewpoint, singing at worship is often considered to be a facultative and non-essential element, instead of one that is immanent and inherent in worship.

The literature upon the subject is so great and so bitterly polemical that I think I shall do well in laying before my readers the Acts, practically complete on all disputed points, and to leave them to draw their own conclusions. I shall not, however, be liable to the charge of unfairness if I quote at some length the deductions of the Eagle of Meaux, the famous Bossuet, from these acts; and since his somewhat isolated position as a Gallican gives him a singular fitness to serve in this and similar questions as a mediator between Catholics and Protestants, his remarks upon this Council will, I think, be read with great interest and respect.

  • The Liturgical Books
    The Liturgical Books In order to be able properly to perform one’s ministry as a chorister or reader (whether set apart or not) it is important to understand the structure of the services. To be an aid to the worship of God by his people, it is helpful to know what is to be read or sung, where it is to be found, in which tone it is to be sung, and where it comes within the service. In order to do this, a familiarity with the liturgical books of the church is necessary. The liturgical books which deal with the daily cycle of services (Vespers, Matins, the Hours, the Divine Liturgy and so forth), may be divided into two main groups: Those which contain the services in their basic structure, with all of the unchanging hymns and prayers in order. Those which contain the variable hymns and prayers, which are inserted into the relevant points of the services and are selected according to the feast or season. (In addition, there is the Book of Needs, commonly called by its Russian name of the “Trebnik”, which contains occasional services – baptisms, weddings, funerals, molebens, &c. – that do not form part of the daily cycle of services.) The first group contains two main books: The Euchologion – containing the various forms of Divine Liturgy as used by the priest and deacon, and usually used by the priest on a stand near the Holy Table. The Horologion – containing Vespers, Matins, and the lesser services of the daily cycle, such as the Hours and Compline.
