The Eucharistic Prayer is the most central and distinctive form of
Christian public prayer apart from the Lord's Prayer itself. It
gradually evolved into fixed forms during the early Christian
centuries, and the Eucharistic Prayer of Addai and Mari is almost
certainly the oldest such prayer still in regular use. Dr Gelston's
study presents a critical edition of the medieval Syriac text of
this ancient Eucharistic Prayer. The text, which is eclectic, is
accompanied by a select critical apparatus and a translation, and
is followed by textual notes on the variants in the apparatus. The
detailed commentary, accessible to those who do not read Syriac, is
concerned chiefly with literary-critical and historical questions
such as the parallels with the Maronite anaphora Sharar which
provide a particular opportunity to detect possible later
accretions and modifications. A tentative reconstruction of the
Prayer as it may have been at about the beginning of the fifth
century is offered in an appendix, and an introduction sets the
Prayer in its wider context.
