PARHAM MS II: Parchment roll containing Ἀκολουθία τῶν Ἐγκαινίων: Office for the dedication of a church, with connected or similar offices

Scope & Content:

PARHAM MS II: Parchment roll containing Ἀκολουθία τῶν Ἐγκαινίων: Office for the dedication of a church, with connected or similar offices. The contents are as follows:

1. Τάξις γινομένη ἐπὶ καθιερώσει ναοῦ, καὶ ἱδρύσει τῆς ἐν αὐτῷ ἁγίας τραπέζης: Office for the dedication of a church. The text differs considerably in the rubrical directions from that given in Goar (1730), pp. 655-664. The Office for the previous day (the first paragraph in Goar) is here omitted and given separately after the rest (see below). There are frequent additions in a later hand in the margins, which in many cases agree with the text in Goar. The epistle and gospel at the end are omitted, but have been inserted in the margin, where, however, an alternative gospel, John 10:22-30, not in Goar, is added. The text in Harley MS 5614, ff 121r-140v, agrees with that in Goar. Inc. Ἀφ'ἑσπέρας, γίνεται ἡ ἑτοιμασία τῶν ἁγίων λειψάνων.

2. Ἑρμηνεία τῆς ἀκολουθίας τῆς καθιερώσεως. Τάξις γινομένη ἐπὶ καθιερώσει ναοῦ, καὶ ἱδρύσει τῆς ἐν αὐτῷ ἁγίας τραπέζης. Instructions for the service on the day preceding the main Office; as regards the earlier part agreeing in the main with the first paragraph in Goar (1730), but the service is very much longer (mostly in abbreviated form). Several of the individual items in this occur in modern Euchologia (see also Harley MS 5614, ff 142v-149). Inc. Ἀφ' ἑσπέρας ὁ ἐπὶ τῶν χειροτονιῶν.

3. Τάξις γινομένη ἐπὶ σαλευθείσης ἁγίας τραπέζης. Office for the replacing of an Altar (Goar 1730, pp. 614-615, also in Harley MS 5614, ff 140v-142v). Inc. Ὅταν μέλλῃ ἡ σαλευθεῖσα τράπεζα καθιδρυσθῆναι.

4. Τάξις γινομένη ἐπὶ καθιερώσει ἀντιμηνσίων. Office for the consecration of antiminsia (Goar 1730, pp. 648-650). Inc. Τῶν ἱερέων τιθέντων ἐν τῇ τραπέζῃ τὰ ἀντιμίνσια.

5. Τάξις γινομένη ἐν τῇ ἐκπλύσει τῆς ἁγίας τραπέζης. Office for the ablution of the Altar (Goar 1730, pp. 623-625; Harley MS 5614, ff 149r-151v). Inc. Μετὰ τὸ ψάλλειν τὴν τριθέκτην.

6. Περὶ τῆς ἁγίας τραπέζης ἧς τὰ ἄμφια διεφθάρησαν. the rubric which in Goar (1730) pp. 627-628 follows the preceding. So also in Harley MS 5614, f 151v, without a separate heading. Inc. Περὶ τῆς ἁγίας τραπέζης ἧς τὰ ἄμφια διεφθάρησαν παλαιωθέντα ἀπέρχεται ὁ ἀρχιερεύς.

7. Ἁκολουθία τοῦ ἁγίου καὶ μεγάλου μύρου. Office of the Holy Chrism (Goar 1730, pp. 628-630; also in Add. MS 34060, ff 151r-152r). Inc. Τῇ ἁγίᾳ καὶ μεγάλῃ Πέμπτη ἀντὶ τοῦ χερουβικοῦ (following directly on the preceding, without separate heading; so also in Add. MS 34060, f 152r). The rubric printed separately in Goar, p. 637. Inc. Ἡ δὲ ὕλη τοῦ μύρου ἔχει οὕτως.

8. Τάξις γινομένη ἐπὶ θεμελίῳ τῆς ἐκκλησίας. Office for the foundation of a church (Goar 1730, pp. 606-607). Inc. Τῶν θεμελίων εὐτρεπισθέντων τοῦ μέλλοντος ἀνεγείρεσθαι ναοῦ.

9. Περὶ σταυροπηγίου. Directions for the procedure in setting up a cross (Goar 1730, pp. 609-610). A figure of the cross is given, with part of the text round it. Inc. Τὸ δὲ σταυροπήγιον γίνεται οὕτως.
