Вера и мисао у вртлогу времена: Међународни зборник радова у част митрополита Амфилохија (Радовића) и епископа Атанасија (Јевтића), ed. A. Jeftić, M. Knežević, R. Kisić, 2021

After providing current research on these sources, the article reflects on their significance for the liturgical history of the Balkan Slavs at large and for the Serbs specifically, including their liturgical practices on the Sinai.

It offers a critical edition of this service based on its oldest extant manuscript witnesses and situates the service within the Byzantine historical, cultural, and theological framework in which it emerged. The author gives special attention to the central themes characterizing the rite, namely Byzantine fears and anxieties surrounding pregnancy, conceptions of women's culpability in pregnancy loss, and preoccupations with ritual impurity and the perceived presence of malevolent spiritual forces at childbirth and miscarriage. The article concludes that the rite emerged as part of a broader liturgical movement in the Orthodox Church to ritually accompany all events connected to childbirth, both due to pastoral desires to be present to women in these transitional moments, as well as efforts to combat other popular rituals condemned by the church.

The codex preserves non- Philothean texts of the liturgies of St John Chrysostom and St Basil that are characterized by distinctive features, including a rare clerical vesting rite and a significantly reduced prothesis rite. After a codicological and historiographical description of the codex, a transcription of the full text of the Chrysostom liturgy is given. The transcription is followed by a detailed liturgiological analysis of its contents, with ample reference to Greek and other parallel texts of the liturgy. The conclusion of the study is that HAZU III a 32 was likely first used within a parochial, non-monastic context, and represents liturgical practices in the rural Slavic Balkans prior to the widespread standardization efforts at the end of the fourteenth century.

Among the specifics in the celebration of the Divine Liturgy representative of this renewal movement, the author lists the following: worship with the holy doors open, censing during the Alleluia, preaching after the reading of the Gospel, pronouncing eucharistic prayers in an audible voice, the elimination of the troparion of the Third Hour, among others. Under consideration are such issues as the frequency of communion, the possibility of performing the sacrament of marriage during the Divine Liturgy, and the removal of particles for the angels during the Prothesis Rite. The author concludes that, on the one hand, the liturgical
renewal movement in Serbia reflects the emergence of broader theological formation in the post-Yugoslav Serbian Church. On the other hand, criticism of the liturgical movement is largely due to the fact that Serbian believers have different levels of theological formation and different experience of participating in Church assembly, which is largely due to the specifics of the historical development of the Serbian Church. Thus, liturgical renewal is only part of a larger renewal of Church life, the goal of which is a more complete realization of life in Christ.

Codicological, paleographic and orthographic analyses indicate that it was copied by an unknown South-Slavic scribe in the first half of the eleventh century. A noteworthy orthographic feature of the fragment is the habitual use of the monograph ⱖ for [jǫ]/['ǫ] instead of the usual digraph ⱖⱔ. The liturgiological examination of the folio’s contents leads the author to propose that the leaf preserves an early monastic midnight service (mesonyktikon) that once belonged to an horologion. The new fragment would thus represent the oldest Slavic source for this book type. Furthermore, textual and ritual affinities to sources representative of Palestinian and Sinaitic liturgical practices situate the mesonyktikon of the new fragment within the liturgical milieu of that region. The author thus concludes that the new Glagolitic horologion fragment was copied on Sinai for the liturgical use of Slavic monks there. As such, the fragment offers concrete evidence that eleventh-century Slavic monks were active within Sinaitic monastic and liturgical currents. The article includes a Glagolitic transcription of the text, followed by a Cyrillic transliteration.

Slav.38/N, Sin. Slav. 39/N and Sin. Slav. 40/O+N. With the exception of a part of Sin. Slav. 40, all three rolls were discovered in 1975 and are described in detail for the first time in this article. The three manuscripts are dated to the 14th century and written in the Serbian redaction of Church Slavonic. Importantly, they contain eucharistic liturgies that are not standardized according to the influential diataxis of Philotheos Kokkinos (†1377/78). As such, these rolls offer new data for tracing the early history of the eucharistic liturgy among medieval Slavs on Sinai and on the Balkan Peninsula. The article includes a liturgiological commentary with comparisons to other South-Slavic and Greek euchologies. Full editions are given for each roll.

This volume brings together a selection of contributions from society members that germinated from papers delivered at the SOL congress gathered in Etchmiadzin, Armenia in September 2016. The chapters reveal new and original research on a variety of topics pertaining to Eastern liturgical rites, including, inter alia, methodological reflections on the field of liturgiology, analysis of unedited Syriac and Ge’ez liturgical texts, investigations on the development of the liturgical calendar in late antiquity, a study of medieval Byzantine hymnography, and a discussion of liturgical renewal for the Armenian Apostolic Church. These and the many other original topics explored herein show the dynamism that characterizes the study of Eastern liturgy today while also calling attention to the many questions that have yet to be explored.

The subjects range from initiation in Syriac Christianity to the origins of the feast of the Ark of the Covenant, and to the Book of Hours of Armenia and Jerusalem; from Coptic liturgy to an ancient Ethiopian catechesis with liturgical comments, and to the Palestinian Typicon; from Byzantine vesting rituals to the rite of marriage in the South-Slavic tradition, and to the fifteenth-century Archbishop Symeon of Thessalonica; from present-day Romanian liturgy ‘between Greeks and Slavs’ to Catholic veneration of Russian saints, and to the American Orthodox monastery of New Skete; and from the interactive web 2.0 to Robert Taft looking back on his impressive academic career. Thus the Society of Oriental Liturgy, dedicated to inquiries into the manifold worship traditions of the Eastern Churches, once more demonstrates that its research is an attractive cornucopia.

These articles reflect studies on Coptic, Ethiopian and Eritrean, Syriac, Greek-Byzantine, Slavonic, and other liturgies. The authors examine, inter alia, the rites of matrimony, the blessing of the waters, and the Eucharistic Prothesis; developments in Christian iconography; early Christian worship and liturgical theology; new methodological approaches. The papers discuss both the historical practice of diverse Eastern Churches and the current situation. The present collection of articles shows clearly the progress made in a fascinating field of research.

The biblical importance of Mt. Sinai led to the creation of one of the world’s oldest monasteries, St. Catherine’s in Egypt. Today, this monastery houses some of the finest examples of early Christian art and the world’s
oldest continuously operating library. This talk features personal knowledge and scholarly insights about the history of the monastery, its cultural treasures, and the Christian monastic life it continues to preserve in the Middle East today.
