RareBooksClub. Paperback. New. This item is printed on demand. Paperback. 116 pages. Dimensions: 9.7in. x 7.4in. x 0.2in.This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1902 edition. Excerpt: . . . ago I acquired the MS. remains of a Lectionary (or rather of three Lectionaries) in the Bohairic dialect of Koptic, --that nowused in the services of the Monophysite Church of Egypt. Bohairic MSS. are not usually very old, and these are of a relatively respectable age, dating probably from the XVIth century. As the Lectionary system of the Egyptian Church is not very well known in this country, it may perhaps be not amiss to give a short explanation of it before proceeding to a description of the MSS. and their contents. There is no regular reading of the Scriptures in course in the Daily Offices; one or more Lessons from the New Testament are read at each of the Canonical Hours, but these are invariable, or nearly so, (like the Capitula at certain of the Hours in Western Rices). There is, however, an Office called the Prayer of the Evening (or Morning) Incense used on all Sundays and great Festivals (the Evening Office being, as usual in the East, recited on what we call the evening of the day before), for these Offices, a Gospel Lesson varying with the Day is appointed. For the Liturgy proper Lessons are not provided for every day as in the Byzantine Rite, but for Sundays, Festivals, and some other days, there are no less than four, taken from (1) The Pauline Epistles, (2) The Catholic Epistles, (3) The Acts, (4) The Gospels, the last being preceded by a variable verse or verses from the Psalms corresponding to the Roman Gradual. On certain occasions, such as the Epiphany and Holy Week, a long series of Lessons from the Old and New Testaments is read, but except on such occasions the Old Testament is not used at all, which may perhaps account for the loss of a considerable part of the Bohairic version of it. A complete Lectionary should. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN., RareBooksClub<
