About this Item

Title

  • Euchologion.

Summary

  • This late-17th-century volume in Arabic is a Euchologion, the prayer book and book of ritual for the Byzantine Rite. The text includes Arabic and Greek prayers side by side, along with extra notes and instructions in Arabic. Not surprisingly, there are a number of Greek loanwords in the text, for example: qundāq, from the Greek kontakion, referring to the liturgical book itself; aghrubnīya, from the Greek agrupnia, meaning "vigil"; and afšīn, from the Greek euchēn, meaning "prayer." The Byzantine Rite is the liturgical rite used by the Eastern Orthodox churches, including several Christian churches in Syria.
