The Church Slavonic (Slavic) language was devised in the ninth
century. Based on Old Bulgarian, it was created by the Greek
missionary brothers Cyril and Methodius. As the first written
Slavic language it has become the mother of all modern Slavic
languages and continues in daily use in the services of the Slavic
Orthodox Churches. (Russian, Bulgarian, Polish etc.) This is a
comprehensive grammar of the Church Slavonic language, covering
etymology, parts of speech, and syntax. This English edition was
translated from the Russian and includes an explanation of
grammatical points that would be taken for granted by a native
Russian speaker. Long used as a seminary textbook both in North
America and Russia, Archbishop Alypy's work is an absolutely unique
publication in English and is essential for anyone desiring to
study Church Slavonic, from beginning learner to advanced scholar.
Texts for practice are largely drawn from the Gospels. This is both
a unique and authoritative work.
