This book centers on a Greek text that was likely compiled in
Constantinople, in 1105, for use in one of the monasteries located
there. The book consists of a liturgical psalter, containing the
fixed structure (the ordinary) in both the Greek original and in
English translation, as well as a description of the hours
themselves. The extensive commentary explains the development of
the divine office, and the particular history of the translated
manuscript, while brief notes clarify and explain, in a way
suitable for non-liturgists, the more-technical aspects of the
divine office. Based on a single dated manuscript, the book
presents the first, full example of the daily structure of monastic
hours as they were celebrated at a time when services had reached a
degree of maturity. The book, by presenting the ordinary of the
office, compliments recent work on the propers of the office, and
thus helps to complete our picture of the medieval monastic office
in Byzantium.
