^{page 51 note 1} Once more it is my pleasant duty to express my gratitude to the Right Rev. Bernard Kaelin, Abbot Primate of the Benedictine Confederation, who in 1950 invited me to membership in the Liturgical Institute he was then forming at the Collegio Anselmo, S. in Rome, thus making it possible for me to resume studies for more than ten years laid aside. My thanks go out also to the Very Rev. Alban Boultwood, Prior of St. Anselm's Priory in Washington, D.C., who graciously allowed me to accept the invitation. While special assistance given me by various scholars is acknowledged in its proper place, I cannot refrain from expressing here my indebtedness in general to Prof. Ciro Giannelli, of the University of Rome, Scriptor of the Vatican Library, and the Rev. Fr. Raes, A., S.J., Professor of Liturgy in the Pontifical Oriental Institute. Finally, there remains to be gratefully mentioned a grant from the American Philosophical Society, which has substantially promoted my work.Google Scholar

^{page 51 note 2} Εὐχὴ συναπτή = ‘continuous prayer,’ a not unnatural designation for a litany in which petitions are joined together (συνάπτονται), following one another in uninterrupted sequence (for this latter connotation, see Theodore Balsamon, In Synodum Laodicenam, in Canonem xvii:… μὴ συναπτῶς ἐν τaῖς συνάξεσιν ἐϰφωνεῖσθαι τοὺς ψαλμούς, ἀλλὰ διὰ μέσου γίνεσθαι ϰαὶ ἀναγνώσεις, PG 137.1364C). Occasionally, the full phrase is found, as in the Ὑποτύπωσις of the Monastery of Studios (PG 99.1717D); in Constantine Porphyrogenitus’ Book of Ceremonies I 14 (ed. Reiske [Bonnae 1829] I 94.17-18; ed. Vogt, A. I [Paris 1935] 86.32-87.1): ϰαὶ ποιεῖ ὁ πατϱιάϱχης εὐχὴν συναπτήν; in the title, εὐχή συναπτὴ τϱισαγίου, discussed below, Note II at n. 60, and in the rubric, ‘O διάϰονος τò μέγα…, quoted ibid. at n. 64. But at an early period the adjective became a noun in its own right, and commonly signifies the litany which is found printed in the Euchology after the seventh prayer of Vespers (’Αϰολουθία τοῦ Λυχνιϰοῦ), under the rubric: Πληϱουμένου δὲ τοῦ πϱοοιμιαϰοῦ ψαλμοῦ, λέγει αὐτòς (sc. ὁ ἱεϱεὺς) ἢ ὁ διάϰονος, εἰ ἔστιν; again at Lauds, after the twelfth prayer, and regularly at the very beginning of the Eucharistic Liturgy (Roman edition of 1873: 13f., 25f., 42ff.; Athenian imprint of 1927: 12f., 22f., 33f., 54). This litany is commented on by Symeon of Thessalonika, who distinguishes it from the ἐϰτενής and this latter again from the αἰτήσεις (PG 155.600-605; 612-613); for an excellent modern commentary, see Père Salaville, S., Liturgies Orientales, II.

^{page 64 note 26} A single case of the occurrence of this commemoration of St. John Chrysostom in B of the μεγάλη συναπτή at the very beginning of the Liturgy has come to my knowledge in Γ.β. xiii (278), fol. 9^v, where the words, ϰαὶ ἀϱχιεϱέως, are omitted, — nor is any other saint mentioned. As for the epithet, ὅσιος, it may be well to call attention to the fact that seldom as it occurs (see Hanssens, ‘La Liturgie romano-byzantine de saint Pierre,’ Orientalia Christiana Periodica 5 [1939] 114-115 n. 1), it is found frequently enough to give rise to the question as to its exact use and meaning. For the present, I shall cite a few examples in addition to those adduced in the text above. In the Anaphora of St. John Chrysostom in Leningrad. 226, after the commemoration of the apostles and of the holy protomartyr, Stephen, we read: τοῦ οὁίου πατϱòς ἡμῶν Βασιλείου, τοῦ όσίου πατϱòς ἡμῶν Γϱηγοϱίου τοῦ θεολόγου, τοῦ ὁσίου Γϱηγοϱίου τοῦ θαυματουϱγοῦ, τοῦ ὁσίου πατϱòς ἡμῶν Ἰωάννου τοῦ Χϱυσοστόμου, ϰαὶ τοῦ ὁσίου ‘Αθανασίου ϰαὶ ﺍ υϱίλλου ϰαὶ ὅσους θέλει ὁσίους ϰαὶ μάϱτυϱας, ϰαὶ τοῦ ἁγίου ϰ.τ.λ. (Krasnoseltsev, Notes 291f., where the text is in part defective; Orlov 216. 4-7). In Barb. gr. 316, fol. 23^v, we have in the Anaphora after the commemoration of Sts. Peter and Paul: τοῦ ὁσίου πατϱòς ἡμῶν Βασιλείου οὐϱανοφάντοϱος ϰαὶ τοῦ ἁγίου Ἰ.τ.Χ.; in Barb. gr. 431 (after the commemoration of the Apostles) fol. l^v: τῶν ὁσίων πατέϱων ἡμῶν ϰαὶ ἱεϱαϱχῶν Γϱηγοϱίου τοῦ Θεολόγου, Βασιλείου Ἰ.τ.Χ. ϰαὶ Νιϰολάου; in Vat. gr. 2005, fol. 20^v (in the Anaphora after the commemoration of the saint of the day): τοῦ ὁσίου πατϱòς ἡμῶν Ἰ. τοῦ X.; Vat. gr. 1973, fol. 17^r_v (again in the Anaphora after the mention of the Apostles): τοῦ ἐν ἁγίοις πατϱòς ἡμῶν ϰαὶ ἀϱχιερέως Ἰ. τοῦ X. ϰαὶ τοῦ ὁσίου πατϱòς ἡμῶν Νιϰολάου. Furthermore, in the Anaphora of the Liturgy of St. James in the Rossano codex one finds in the midst of a long list of ἅγιοι: τοῦ ὁσίου πατϱòς ἡμῶν, Συμεὼν τοῦ θαυματουϱγοῦ ϰαὶ τῆς ὁσίας μητϱòς αὐτοῦ Μάϱθας (Sw 294; Μ 216 critical note to 5), and farther on in the same Anaphora, after the commemoration of the martyrs of Mt. Sinai and Raїthu: ϰαὶ λοιπῶν ὁσίων πατέϱων ἡμῶν ϰαὶ ἀσϰητῶν ὀϱθοδόξων ϰαὶ πάντων τῶν ἁγίων σου. Undoubtedly, in nearly every case cited the use of the term can be ultimately understood on the basis of Delehaye's remark that ὅσιος had a definite connotation in monastic language, but are we quite certain that we know what that connotation was? It is clear that the word was at one time used in a much wider sense than that in which, according to Delehaye, it is found quite regularly employed in the Menaia (Sanctus [Subsidia Hagiographica 17; Bruxelles 1927] 72f.).Google Scholar

In this study, Fr. Hanssens, J. M.’ opinion (Institutiones III 238) that the litany — comprising A, 1, 2, 3, 10, and 11 — found in the Slavic books with the second prayer of the faithful, goes back to a Greek original, was substantiated on the basis of twenty-four manuscripts ranging in date from the tenth century to the sixteenth. The ‘peculiarity’ which is thus proved to have been at one time widespread practice in the Greek speaking world is for the sake of convenience referred to throughout the present Note as the Slavic litany. On the other hand, the brief litany (A, 11) which has for centuries been in common use with the second prayer of the faithful is designated — again, merely for the sake of convenience — as the modern form or modern abridgement.Google Scholar

^{page 65 note 3} D² 133 (at foot of page). This manuscript is discussed at some length by Dmitrievski, Divine Service in Holy Week and Easter Week at Jerusalem in the Tenth and Eleventh Centuries (in Russian; Kazan 1894) 261ff., who publishes from it: (1) portions of the διαϰονιϰά of the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom (264 n. 2), (2) the διαϰονιϰά of the Liturgy of St. James (270-85), (3) the διαϰονιϰά of the Liturgy of the Presanctified of St. James (303-9). The first and last of these three items he has reprinted in a revised form in the description of the codex included in his volume, Εὐχολόγια (D² 133-4: the διαϰονιϰά of ‘St. John Chrysostom’; 128-33: those of the Liturgy of the Presanctified of St. James), followed by the διαϰονιϰά of the Liturgy of the Presanctified of St. Basil (134-5). Brightman prints as Appendix G of his important compilation the διαϰονιϰά of the L. of the P. of St. James (Br 494-500), and as Appendix H the diptychs of Jerusalem (Br 501-3), which Dmitrievski printed in the first of the two works cited (277-82), but not in the second, where they are, however, briefly discussed. It is important to note that Gardthausen, V., Catalogus Codicum Graecorum Sinaiticorum (Oxonii 1886) 219, apparently on palaeographical grounds, assigns this manuscript to the fourteenth century (‘saec. xiv scr.’) and that Brightman accepts this dating, which as far as the handwriting is concerned may very well be correct. Because of this late date, too, in all probability, the manuscript was not included in the microfilming project of the Library of Congress, undertaken several years ago in co-operation with the American Foundation for the Study of Man and Farouk University (Kenneth Clark, W., ‘Microfilming Manuscripts at Jerusalem and Mt. Sinai,’ Bulletin of the American Schools of Oriental Research, Number 123, October 1951, 17-24). Dmitrievski, however, interested primarily in the content of the book, looks upon it (and he in turn would seem to be from his point of view altogether correct) as a twelfth-century document, inasmuch as the persons commemorated by name belong at the latest to this period: Manuel Comnenus (1143-80) is mentioned in the great prayer of intercession as the reigning emperor and the last of the deceased patriarchs of Jerusalem included in the diptychs of the dead is John VII (1155-1178). It will be seen below (p. 96) that even as a twelfth-century compilation the manuscript retains other important archaic traits.Google Scholar

Krasnoseltsev, N., Notes 210-12, briefly surveys the reasons given by Bishop Porphyry Uspenski, who brought the codex from Mt. Sinai to Russia, for assigning it to the seventh century, the author himself inclining to the ninth. On pages 283-95, he edits the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom from this same codex. Μ. Orlov, I., in his critical edition of the Liturgy of St. Basil (St. Petersburg 1909) lxv-lxxxvii, presents an elaborate study of the manuscript with a view to establishing its relations to other Greek codices. Chiefly concerned, as he is, with the script and the curious spelling and syllabification, he assigns it to the ninth century, and the (uncial) original from which it was copied to the eighth. Of one page, fol. 15^r, he gives a good reproduction; pages 321-81, he edits the twenty-seven ὀπισθάμβωνοι found in this book, and at the very end of the volume (384-405), prints from it the celebrant's prayers of the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, but no rubrics or διαϰονιϰά, for which the student who has no photostat or microfilm of the codex is still dependent on Krasnoseltsev.

In any event, the inclusion of a prayer attributed to St. Germanus (Ephemerides Liturgicae 47, N.S. 7 [1933] 364, number 301) would seem to fix the date as after 729, the year of that patriarch's death.

^{page 71 note 28} In Witzel's Exercitamenta Syncerae Pietatis, published at Mainz in 1555, there is prefixed to this translation a ‘Praefatio in Missam Basilii, S. Magni ad Principem quendam Italicum, Anno 1545’ (Ai^r-Aiii^v), and the bibliography of his writings appended to the biography in Bishop Andreas Räss’ Die Convertiten seit der Reformation I (Freiburg i. Br. 1866) 146–156, includes the following: 70) Liturgia Basilii Magni, S., nuper e tenebris eruta et in lucem nunc primum edita. Mog. 1546. (Of this printing I have failed to find a copy; likewise, Richter, G., Die Schriften Georg Witzel's, Fulda 1913, has been inaccessible to me). In 1549, quite independently of Witzel's edition, Johannes Cochlaeus included this same translation in his Speculum Antiquae Devotionis circa Missam et omnem alium cultum Dei (Apud Victorem, S. extra muros Moguntiae, ex officina Francisci Behem) 117-132. At Paris in 1560, it appeared in William Morel's handsomely printed volume, Liturgiae sive Missae Sanctorum Patrum, 31-50, as also in Christopher Plantin's edition of this compilation, published in the same year at Antwerp (34^v-48^v), where again two years later it re-appeared under the imprint of John Stelsius (= Steels?) with identical pagination. In 1624, it was included in the fourth edition of Marguerin de la Bigne's Bibliotheca Patrum (IV 1-14), whence Goar took it for his edition of the Euchology (G 182-5, 153-7; see Note II below, pp. 87-9).Google Scholar

^{page 74 note 39} Krasnoseltsev, Materials 58; Tr 9. It must be noted, however, that according to the Slavic recension of the Diataxis edited by Krasnoseltsev (ibid.), there are recited with the first prayer of the faithful not merely A, 1, 2, 3, but also 11, to give a finishing touch, apparently, similar to the conclusion of the second section. Similarly, A is repeated before the second prayer of the faithful, that is, before 7. In both cases, the instruction to the deacon stands in the Slavic as it does in the original Greek.Google Scholar

^{page 74 note 40} Interestingly enough, in Monac. gr. 345, fol. 19^v, suffrage 4 is retained with the first prayer of the faithful: Ὑπὲϱ τοῦ ἀϱχιεπισϰόπου ἡμῶν Σωφϱονίου, τοῦ τιμίου πϱεσβυτεϱίου, ϰ.τ.λ. Google Scholar

But there would seem to have been no hard and fast rule concerning them. In the recension translated by Erasmus, for example, a special commemoration of the monastic community appears in the other three places, but is missing toward the conclusion of the Anaphora.Google Scholar

^{page 77 note 57} See above at nn. 37-41. Trempelas discusses Ducas’ edition at some length (ιβ‘-ιζ’), but if I read him aright, notes only one of its distinctive peculiarities, viz., the rubric which precedes the words, τῆς σνστάσεως τοῦ μυστηϱίου: «ὁ ίεϱεὺς ϰλίνει, τὴν ϰεφαλὴν ϰαὶ> αἴϱων τὴν δεξιὰν αὐτοῦ μετ’ εὐλαβείας εὐλογεῖ τòν ἅγιον ἄϱτον … <τὴν χείϱα> ἔχων ἄνωθεν μετ’ εύλαβείας ϰαὶ εὐλογῶν λέγει: Πίετε., (ιζ’ 1). In addition to this rubric and the curious arrangement of the litany described in the text above, two other features are worth nothing: (1) the omission of the prayer, ʼ’Ελλαμψον, before the Gospel, and (2) the rubrics and prayers which follow the Tò πλήϱωμα τοῦ νόμου at the very end of the Liturgy. All four peculiarities are found in Morel's printing of 1560, but despite the agreement of this latter edition with that of Ducas, there are differences also. I may mention just one, namely, the rubric in Morel's text preceding the prayer, Εὐχαϱιστοῦμέν σοι, δέσποτα φιλάνθρωπε, εύεϱγέτα τῶν ψυχῶν. It reads as follows: ψαλλομένου τοῦ Πληϱωθήτω, ἀποϰομίζονται ἐν τῇ πϱοθέσει τὰ ἅγια, πϱοποϱευομένου τοῦ διαϰόνου, λέγοντος τοῦ ἱεϱέως τὴν εὐχὴν μυστιϰῶς (ρ. 107). This is found in the ‘Veneta antiqua’ also (in the two Zanetti printings mentioned in n. 59 below, fol. δv^v), but not in Ducas nor in Goar, who notes it as a variant (94, rr; 77, rr).+αἴϱων+τὴν+δεξιὰν+αὐτοῦ+μετ’+εὐλαβείας+εὐλογεῖ+τòν+ἅγιον+ἄϱτον+…+<τὴν+χείϱα>+ἔχων+ἄνωθεν+μετ’+εύλαβείας+ϰαὶ+εὐλογῶν+λέγει:+Πίετε.,+(ιζ’+1).+In+addition+to+this+rubric+and+the+curious+arrangement+of+the+litany+described+in+the+text+above,+two+other+features+are+worth+nothing:+(1)+the+omission+of+the+prayer,+ʼ’Ελλαμψον,+before+the+Gospel,+and+(2)+the+rubrics+and+prayers+which+follow+the+Tò+πλήϱωμα+τοῦ+νόμου+at+the+very+end+of+the+Liturgy.+All+four+peculiarities+are+found+in+Morel's+printing+of+1560,+but+despite+the+agreement+of+this+latter+edition+with+that+of+Ducas,+there+are+differences+also.+I+may+mention+just+one,+namely,+the+rubric+in+Morel's+text+preceding+the+prayer,+Εὐχαϱιστοῦμέν+σοι,+δέσποτα+φιλάνθρωπε,+εύεϱγέτα+τῶν+ψυχῶν.+It+reads+as+follows:+ψαλλομένου+τοῦ+Πληϱωθήτω,+ἀποϰομίζονται+ἐν+τῇ+πϱοθέσει+τὰ+ἅγια,+πϱοποϱευομένου+τοῦ+διαϰόνου,+λέγοντος+τοῦ+ἱεϱέως+τὴν+εὐχὴν+μυστιϰῶς+(ρ.+107).+This+is+found+in+the+‘Veneta+antiqua’+also+(in+the+two+Zanetti+printings+mentioned+in+n.+59+below,+fol.+δvv),+but+not+in+Ducas+nor+in+Goar,+who+notes+it+as+a+variant+(94,+rr;+77,+rr).>Google Scholar

^{page 80 note 77} I have failed to find a copy of this edition, but venture to make the statement advanced above in view of Karataev's description of the Venetian edition of 1554, which I have seen, and which, according to this author, is an exact reprint of the princeps (Karataev, Description of Slavic-Russian Books Printed in Cyrillic Characters, I. 1491-1652 [St. Petersburg 1883] [= K1] 120-3; description of the edition of 1519, pp. 44-7). — Distinctly curious is the omission of Suffrage 9 (Ὑπὲϱ τῶν πλεόντων ϰ.τ.λ.) from the second section of the litany. This is all the more striking, since in Cyprian's version as edited by Krasnoseltsev this is included, and the following suffrage (Ὑπὲϱ τοῦ ᾁυσθῆναι ϰ.τ.λ.), which does occur in the služebnik, omitted. Noteworthy, too, in the Slavic version is the occurrence of the’Αντιλαβοῦ-petition at the end of both sections of the synapte, whereas in the Greek text of Philotheus it occurs only once, that is, in its normal place at the end of the second section. These peculiarities, it must be remarked, are found also in all the later editions of the služebnik in which this Philothean division of the synapte occurs. On the other hand, none of the later editions contains the rubric which instructs the deacon to watch the celebrant and pronounce the word, Σοφία, as soon as the latter has finished his prayer, although this is found not only in both Philotheus and Cyprian, but also in these two early Venetian printings.Google Scholar

^{page 85 note 97} One startling Latinism, however, found in this codex deserves special mention.

And now we have the complete rubric: Οἱ ψάλται ψάλλουσι τò Ἅγ<ιος> ἅγ<ιος> ἅγ<ιος>.

(Sw 88; Br 312.15ff.; Tr 38.1-7) and the two Cryptenses, Γ.β.iv and Γ.β.vii.

It is curious to find the kissing of the altar prescribed at this point; unusual, too, is the occurrence of the verb, ὑπάϱχει, in the form of blessing in both manuscripts (Εὐλογημένη ὑπάϱχει ἡ βασιλεία…), which is found also in Leningrad. 226, not at this point, to be sure (see text above), but at the very beginning of the enarxis, where it has been wrongly transcribed by Krasnoseltsev's reader: Εὐλογημένη ἡ ἀϱχὴ ϰαὶ βασιλεία (Notes 284), the actual reading of the manuscript being: Εὐλο<γη>μενηπαϱχηϊβασιλια (fol. 15^v).μενηπαϱχηϊβασιλια (fol. 15v).' href=https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=This+rubric,+which+is+not+cited+by+either+Dmitrievski+or+Trempelas+from+any+one+of+the+numerous+manuscripts+he+has+collated,+I+have+found+in+only+two+other+books:+Ottob.+gr.+344+(in+both+Liturgies,+foll.+138r,+147r)+and+Barb.+gr.+443,+fol.+5r.+It+is+curious+to+find+the+kissing+of+the+altar+prescribed+at+this+point;+unusual,+too,+is+the+occurrence+of+the+verb,+ὑπάϱχει,+in+the+form+of+blessing+in+both+manuscripts+(Εὐλογημένη+ὑπάϱχει+ἡ+βασιλεία…),+which+is+found+also+in+Leningrad.+226,+not+at+this+point,+to+be+sure+(see+text+above),+but+at+the+very+beginning+of+the+enarxis,+where+it+has+been+wrongly+transcribed+by+Krasnoseltsev's+reader:+Εὐλογημένη+ἡ+ἀϱχὴ+ϰαὶ+βασιλεία+(Notes+284),+the+actual+reading+of+the+manuscript+being:+Εὐλο<γη>μενηπαϱχηϊβασιλια+(fol.+15v).>Google Scholar

^{page 86 note 7} This embolism, as it may be called, is not found in Ducas’ printing, neither does it occur in Goar's ‘vulgate’ text; but the latter does include it in his Variae Lectiones as found in the Veneta (G 90, 73; note E). It is not found in the Venetian printings of 1558 and 1562, but does appear in the following which I have examined: 1622, 1629, 1638, 1648, 1727, and in the Roman editions of 1754 and 1873. It does not occur in the Euchology printed in Constantinople in 1803, nor in the Ἀϱχιεϱατιϰόν printed there in 1820, nor in the Venetian edition of 1862 or in the Athenian printing of 1927.

^{page 88 note 14a} Special mention must be made here of De Meester's reading of the enarxis in this recension of ‘St. Basil.’ He is of the opinion that according to Pyromales’ manuscript, ‘les formules de la grande collecte’ were recited after the first prayer and antiphon, likewise after the second, and a third time during the bishop's entrance (Χϱυσοστομιϰά 318 footnote 1). With the litany of the trisagion we should thus have the synapte recited four times in all before the lections. This I consider improbable, to say the least. Had De Meester had before him the complete text of Witzel's or Cochlaeus’ edition of the Latin translation, in which, after ‘In pace Dominum precemur,’ ‘&c.’ is never found, his interpretation of Goar's edition of the Greek original would have agreed, I believe, with mine.Google Scholar

^{page 88 note 15} Goar adds here a page reference, ‘fol. (= pag., always in Goar) 64’ (edition of 1730: ‘fol. 52’), from which, if one follows it, one might infer that the complete synapte was recited during the entrance itself, and — in view of our present context — immediately repeated as litany of the trisagion after the people's response to the bishop's prayer. This would, I believe, be an entirely false deduction. This bidding of the deacon, followed in Cochlaeus’ and Witzel's Latin by the response of the people, is a kind of liturgical punctuation of which we have a series of five, for example, — in the shorter form, Τοῦ ϰυϱίου δεηθῶμεν, and without a response — in the modern πϱόθεσις or πϱοσϰομιδή. In the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom as found in the Karlsruhe MS Ettenheim-Münster 6, we read after the third antiphon: ϰαί ἐν τῷ ψάλλεσθαι ταῦτα ó δ<ιάϰονος> ἱστάμενος ἐν τοῖς δεξιοῖς τοῦ ἱεϱέως λ<έ>γ<ει> μυστιϰῶς: τοῦ ϰυϱίου δεηθῶμεν: Κύϱιε ἐλέησον: after which the priest recites the prayer of the entrance (R. Engdahl, Beiträge zur Kenntnis der byzantinischen Liturgie [Berlin 1908] 9.8-10, where the parenthesis, ὁ ϰλῆϱος ϰαί ὁ λαός, is the editor's insertion). In the later patriarchal Diataxis mentioned above, the short form, Τοῦ ϰυϱίου δεηθῶμεν, serves definitely as a punctuation point for the recitation of the prayer of the entrance (D² 304f.). In general, w s this bidding was slow to find its way into the manuscripts (but it is found in the tenth-century roll, Sinait. 956, in the εὐχὴ τοῦ νιπτῆϱος, before the concluding prayer, Κ.ὁ.θ.ἡ.·ὁ ϰατὰ τò πολυέλεός σου [D² 15]), it does begin to appear in copies of the Liturgies from the twelfth century onward (Ottob. gr. 344 [Otranto, a.D. 1177] fol. 144^v, immediately after the third antiphon: ϰαὶ βαλὼν ὁ διάκονος εἰς τòν θυμιατòν θυμίαμα, λέγει πϱòς τòν ἱεϱέα. Τοῦ ϰυϱίου δεηθῶμεν. Ὁ ἱεϱεὺς τὴν εὐχὴν τῆς εἰσόδου; Leo Tuscus’ translation of ‘Chrysostom,’ Par isin. lat. 1002, fol. 6^V [without the response]; Ettenheim-Münster 6 [‘Chrysostom’ as above, but ‘St. Basil’ without the response]). Trempelas (Tr 37) cites nine manuscripts of comparatively recent date — four of the sixteenth century, two of the seventeenth, and three of the eighteenth — which prescribe the silent (μυστιϰῶς) recitation by the deacon of both the bidding and the response. ἱστάμενος ἐν τοῖς δεξιοῖς τοῦ ἱεϱέως λ<έ>γ<ει> μυστιϰῶς: τοῦ ϰυϱίου δεηθῶμεν: Κύϱιε ἐλέησον: after which the priest recites the prayer of the entrance (R.

^{page 89 note 18} Arsenius’ subscription is twice printed by Goar: in the Prooemium (fol. ē ij^r) and in note x of the Variae Lectiones. In the former passage he miscalculates the year (6510 of the Byzantine era is — for November 15, that is, after September first — our year 1001, not 1041, as Goar asserts). Furthermore, Goar's reading, Ἀχϱίδον, and his translation, Achridani, are not above suspicion. The normal form of this adjective, Prof. Giannelli assures me, is Ἀχϱιδηνός. Goar's Ἀχϱιδοῦ ϰαὶ ἁμαϱτωλοῦ (in the Prooemium, Ἀχϱίδον ἁ.) — could it be a misreading of ἀχϱείου ϰαὶ ἁμαϱτωλοῦ, the sort of combination not infrequently found in subscriptions?

^{page 96 note 49} Once the recitation of the litany of the trisagion had been discontinued, two different uses came into existence with reference to the recitation of the celebrant's prayer, Ὁ θεòς ὁ ἅγιος: (1) The celebrant began the recitation during the singing of the troparia which follow the eisodikon, and after he had pronounced the ecphonesis, the people or choir chanted the trisagion itself. This was the conservative thing to do: Cabasilas († c. 1380) describes it as the norm, that is, he seems to know no other practice (PG 150.413; see also Père Salaville, S.'s French translation: Explication de la Divine Liturgie [Sources Chrétiennes; Paris 1932] 128, and note 2); it is still the use in the Slavic Rite (Hanssens, Institutiones II 373, 377), and Trempelas (41 n. 9) cites seventeen manuscripts, in addition to the oldest Barberini book, which have this use. (But surely, in view of the evidence brought together in this article, it is altogether reasonable to assume that at the time Barb. gr. 336 was written, the recitation of this prayer took place while the litany of the trisagion was being said.) (2) Since the cue for the singing of the trisagion had always been the priest's ecphonesis at the end of the prayer, this was now anticipated, that is, it was detached from the prayer itself and pronounced by the celebrant, as soon as the cantors had finished the last troparion. At once the singing of the trisagion begins, during which the priest recites the prayer, which now ends without an ecphonesis. This latter custom I have found in a series of manuscripts of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries: Vat. gr. 1554, fol. 6^r; Vat. gr. 1863, foll. 13^r, 54^v; Vat. gr. 2005, foll. 8^V, 33^r; Barb. gr. 316, fol. 11^r; Barb. gr. 345, fol. 2^r; Barb. gr. 393, fol. 15^v; Γ.β. iii, foll. 12-13; Γ.β. xii, foll. 52-53. Curiously enough, two other manuscripts of this period prescribe the silent recitation of this ecphonesis before the singing of the trisagion: Vat. gr. 1881 (A.D. 1148), fol. 75^r, where, stranger still, the people are directed to respond, Ἀμήν; and Γ.β. ii, where the paradoxical rubric reads: Ὁ ἱεϱεὺς ἐxφωνεῖ μυστιϰῶς λέγων (fol. 5^r) and ὁ ἱεϱεὺς ἐϰφωνεῖ μνστιϰῶς (fol. 25^r). But whether this conclusion was said aloud or silently, from its recitation by the priest before he has said the prayer itself, arose several later developments which are discussed at length by Trempelas 41-45.Google Scholar

^{page 99 note 54a} The phrase, τòν τϱισάγιον ὕμνον, found together with τὴν δόξαν, in the ecphonesis of the prayer of the trisagion in all the manuscripts of the Liturgy of St. James (M 168), recurs alone (without τὴν δόξαν) in the corresponding ecphonesis of the Byzantine Rite in at least eleven Euchologies of the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth centuries: Γ.β. iv, 4^V; Γ.β. ii, 5^r; Γ.β. iii, 12^r; Γ.β. xii, 52^r; Γ.β. xiii, 12^v; Γ.β. xviii, 8^r; Vat. gr. 1811, 75^r; Vat. gr. 1863, 54^v; Vat. gr. 2005, 8^V, 33^r; Barb. gr. 345, 2^r; Barb. gr. 393, 15^v. This fact is in striking contrast with Trempelas’ findings in his Athenian manuscripts, only three of which, and they of recent date (the eighteenth century), have this reading: Byz. Museum MS 135, National Library MSS 828, 860 (Trempelas 41, crit. app.). We have here one more illustration of the strong influence of the Liturgy of St. James in Southern Italy. Moreover, in the Abbey of Grottaferrata to this day, so the Right Rev. Isidore Croce, Archimandrite of that venerable house, informs me, the phrase, τòν τϱισάγιον ὕμνον, is the normal text in the ecphonesis of the prayer of the trisagion, unless Ὅσοι εἰς Χϱιστòν… or Τòν σταυϱόν σου… is sung in place of the trisagion, when τὴν δόξαν is said. — Further evidence for the occurrence of τòν τϱισάγιον ὕμνον, without τὴν δόξαν: in the recension of ‘St. John Chrysostom’ translated by Erasmus (Paris 1537, p. 25; G 105, 91), who according to Gasquet, F. A. and Bishop, E., Edward VI and the Book of Common Prayer (London 1890) 187, 1, had before him a twelfth-century text; and in the Liturgy of St. Basil translated by Nicholas of Otranto in the second half of the twelfth century (MS Ettenheim-Münster 6, fol. 43^v).Google Scholar

^{page 100 note 60} The interesting variation whereby, according to certain more recent books, the procession of the relics and their deposition takes place before the consecration of the altar rather than after, does not enter into the present problem, for in both cases the rubric prescribes the recitation of the litany before the procession sets out. But the title, εὐχὴ συναπτὴ τϱισαγίου, and its interpretation in this particular rubric have a history of their own which on the basis of the available material may be briefly sketched as follows. It is not surprising, first of all, that the eleventh-century Sinait. 959 should read simply εὐχὴν συναπτήν (D- 62; reprinted by Trempelas in his edition of the Rite of the Ἐγϰαίνια, Θεολογία 24 [1953] 38), for with the exception of Sinait. 1040, the Mt. Sinai books give us no information concerning this litany (see Concluding Remarks, n. 11 below). But among the more recent codices which Trempelas cites, four — Athens, Ἐθνιϰὴ Βιβλιοθήϰη, MSS 2014 (s. xiv), 662 (s. xii-xiv), 663 (s. xv/xvi), 754 (s. xvii) — agree in reading, εὐχὴ συναπτῆς τϱισαγίου, the older adjective form being changed into an appositional genitive (op. cit. 38, line 6). This is the reading of the sixteenth-century Cyprian book, Barb. gr. 390, Goar's Codex Allatianus. But the seventeenth-century editor, who, as has already been said, prints and translates the text of Barb. gr. 336 correctly (note 57 above), emends the text of this book in very strange fashion: εὐχὴν συναπτῆς. λεχθέντος τοῦ τϱισαγίου and translates Diacono collectae orationem pronunciante, Hymnoque ter sancto dicto (G 840, 661). But long before Goar the traditional phrase had ceased to be understood. For in another Cyprian manuscript, written ‘before the end of the dynasty of the Palaeologi’ (1259-1453) and published by Charil. Papaioannes, I. in Ἐϰϰλησιαστιϰòς Κῆϱυξ in 1915 (known to me only in an offprint), the instruction is explicit: ϰαὶ τοῦ διαϰόνου ποιοῦντος συναπτὴν ψάλλεται τϱισάγιον; and from still another codex, B. 34 of the Great Laura, it has found its way into the edition of the Euchology printed at Athens in 1927 (p. 540). But this innovation became by no means universal. In MS 734 (s. xviii) of the National Library of Athens, a somewhat different development is found: the singing of the trisagion is not prescribed, but curiously enough the ecphonesis which normally precedes it, Ὅτι ἅγιος εﺂ, ὁ θεòς ἡμῶν, as though the hymn were about to be sung (instead the deacon says: τοῦ ϰυϱίου δεηθῶμεν and after the people's response, Κύϱιε ἐλέησον, the bishop says aloud the prayer, K. ὁ θ. ἡ., ὁ πιστòς…; Trempelas, op. cit. 38, apparatus at foot of page). This is the arrangement found in the edition of this rite prepared by the Georgian monk, Anthimus, and printed at Bucarest in 1703 (conveniently reprinted in the 1927 edition of the Euchology, 218-43). It is the use prescribed also in the Appendix to the Typicon of Constantinople (Athenian imprint, s.a. 413), and it may well be that practice varies today, following now one, now the other development, grown out of a misunderstanding of an ancient title of the synapte. Père Salaville, S., A.A., for example, in his valuable little book, Cérémonial de la Consécration d'une église selon le Rite Byzantin (Tipografia Poliglotta Vaticana 1937), if I read him aright, includes the singing of the trisagion among the preliminaries of the procession of the relics (p. 40). De Meester does likewise in his description of the rite, but in a footnote expresses a doubt because of the absence of an explicit prescription to this effect in Γ.β. i (op. cit.

^{page 105 note 88} It is interesting to find this litany, which is here not more closely defined, to be designated in the Typicon of Grottaferrata (Toscani, op. cit. 44) as μιϰϱά; in the Vallicelliana MS D.61, it is specified as μεγάλη (ibid.), as it is also in Barb. gr. 359 (III.78; 75), fol. 51^r, a Typicon written in 1552 for the cathedral church of Bovo in Calabria. In fact, in this book, on Christmas Eve both the litany before the first antiphon (fol. 50^v) and that before the trisagion are expressly called μεγάλαι. In other words, we have here exactly the situation prescribed in Sinait. 1040 (at n. 47 above), in Parisin. gr. 330, in Vat. gr. 1863 (at nn. 44, 48 above), and in Vat. gr. 1970. But it is rather interesting to note that this last codex expressly recognizes the omission of this litany on certain occasions, a phenomenon which corresponds perfectly with the fact that in none of the Typica examined is the synapte of the trisagion prescribed for the Sundays of Lent or for the feast of the Circumcision (St. Basil), days on which the Liturgy of St. Basil is ‘of precept.’Google Scholar

^{page 105 note 2} From the parallel columns printed above at the beginning of this study and the accompanying collations it is clear that the litany of Jerusalem and Antioch lacks not only g (11), which is found in all of the shorter Byzantine texts we have seen, but also e (5), which is missing from two of them (Cochlaeus’ version and Vat. gr. 1863), and c (3), which is found in even the shortest text of the Byzantine group (Vat. gr. 1863). Moreover, in the former litany, in each of the four petitions of which it is composed and in its concluding bidding, B, the variations from the normal Byzantine text are not without interest. Thus, ϰαὶ θεoῦ φιλανθϱωπίας of α is missing from 1; in β, we have a telescoping, as it may be called, of a part of 2: instead of εὐσταθείας τῶν ἁγίων ἐϰϰλησιῶν ϰαὶ τῆς τῶν πάντων ένώσεως, we read: ϰαὶ ἑνώσεως πασῶν τῶν ἁγίων τοῦ θεoῦ ἐϰϰλησιῶν. In γ (= 4), the monastic superiors (τῶν ὁσιωτάτων πατέϱων), who are not mentioned at all in the text of Constantinople, take precedence over the patriarch; the phrases, τοῦ τɩμίου πϱεσβυτεϱίου, τῆς ἐν Χϱιστῷ διαϰονίας are omitted, and over against the simple Byzantine text, we have a series of epithets (ὁσιωτάτων, for the abbots; ἁγιωτάτου, for the patriarch; φιλοχϱίστου, for the laity), to say nothing of the initial σωτηϱίας ϰαὶ φιλανθϱωπίας, which is missing altogether from 4. In δ (= 10), we have prefixed a petition not found in the form of Constantinople: ‘Υπὲϱ ἀφέσεως τῶν ἁμαϱτιῶν ϰαὶ σνγχωϱήσεως πλημμελημάτων ἡμῶν, and after ἀνάγϰης, the phrase: ἐπαναστάσεως ἐχθϱῶν, which may well have been introduced at the time of a hostile invasion. B, finally, is here altogether distinctive, not only for the commemorations, discussed at some length in the Excursus above, but also for its form (μνημονεύσωμεν ὅπως … ἐλεηθῶμεν), which is alien to the Byzantine text.Google Scholar

^{page 106 note 6} Excluding for the moment the books cited above for the rite of monastic profession (Note II n. 55), we have seven in all: (1) the roll of Arsenius, now lost; (2) Bacha's Arabic version of the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom; (3) Γ.β. vii; (4) Γ.β. xxix; (5) Z.δ. ii; (6) Sinait. 1040; (7) Vat. gr. 1970. Unfortunately, Goar's notes on the first of these do not give us adequate information concerning the length of the litany, the mere title, μεγάλη συναπτή being insufficient for our immediate purpose. Neither do the tiny fragments of Γ.β. xxix or the meagre hint of Z.δ. ii tell us anything about the number of petitions. As for Vat. gr. 1970, because of the loss of one or more folios, we have no knowledge of the length of the πρώτη συναπτή mentioned in the rubric quoted in Note II above (after n. 50) from fol. 3^r. As for the manuscripts which contain the rite of monastic profession, five of them — Messanen. gr. 172, Cryptensis Γ.β. xliii, Vat. gr. 1969, Rumiantsiev 474, and the Euchology of St. Euthymius of Mt. Athos — presuppose a litany which extends as far as and includes petition 9 (Ὑπἐϱ τῶν πλεόντων). We may say, therefore, it contains the unabridged synapte. Coislin 213, on the other hand, inserts the seven special petitions immediately after 3 (Ὑπὲϱ τοῦ ἁγίου οἴϰου) and, omitting 4 to 9 inclusive, ends with 10, 11, and Shorter, B. still is the litany of Vat. gr. 1970 at this point, for here we find the seven special petitions inserted immediately after 1 (Υπὲϱ τῆς ἄνωθεν) and the normal synapte is resumed, as in the Coislin book, with 10.Google Scholar

^{page 107 note 7} To avoid every possibility of misunderstanding, it must be stated that the cues are rather long, for the scribe wrote as much of each suffrage as he could get on one line. In fact, 2 and 9 are written out in full. It will not be amiss to add that in the ἐϰτενής found in this codex, 3 to 10 of the synapte are included, as are also 3 to 11 in Vat. gr. 1970, and 3 to 6 and 10 in Leningrad. 226. It may be noted here that a study of the various recensions of the ἐϰτενής, as found in the manuscripts, has yet to be undertaken. It would undoubtedly lead to interesting results.Google Scholar

Patriarca Costantinopolitano e la Versione latina di Anastasio Bibliotecario,’ Studi Liturgici 1 (Grottaferrata 1912) 21.4-14 (reprinted from Roma e l'Oriente 2 [Maggio-Ottobre 1911] 226.4-14); Brightman, F. E., ‘The Historia Mystagogica and Other Greek Commentaries on the Byzantine Liturgy,’ Journal of Theological Studies 9 (1908) 265, c. 32; PG 98.403ff. It is important, however, to note that in the oldest text, that edited by Borgia, not one word is said concerning any of the litanies recited in the course of the Liturgy. Quite different is the interpolated text printed by Migne, PG 98.384-453. — Special importance for the study of the text of this curious commentary attaches to the remarks of the late Père G. de Jerphanion, included in the second section (255ff.) of his interesting article, ‘Les noms des quatre animaux et le Commentaire liturgique du pseudo-Germain,’ La Voix des Monuments (Paris 1930) 250-9 (reprinted from Bessarione 35 [1919] 146-154). De Jerphanion does not refer to Borgia's edition of the pseudo-Germanus, but to that published twenty-six years earlier by Krasnoseltsev, Notes 322-75. The two texts are closely related, but since the author or compiler of Borgia's text handles both his interpolations (passages taken from the Mystagogia of Maximus the Confessor) and his original with far greater intelligence than does the other, we may assume that he enables us to get closer to the archetype of this famous commentary.Google Scholar

^{page 108 note 11} This limiting phrase is important, for the oldest Mt. Sinai manuscripts which I have been able to examine (in microfilms supplied by the Library of Congress) — Codd. 958 (s. x), 959 (s. xi), 961 (s. xi/xii), 962 (s. xi/xii) — give us not the slightest hint of a litany of the trisagion. But neither has any one of these the synapte at the beginning of the Liturgy. Cod. 973 (a.D. 1153) is the earliest Mt. Sinai book which shows us this litany in its present place; it has no litany of the trisagion. Cod. 1036 (s. xii/xiii), again, has no trace of the synapte in either of the two places. In marked contrast to these Euchologies is the Diakonikon, MS Sinait. 1040, as the frequent citation of it in Notes I and II amply demonstrates.Google Scholar
