 Gorgias Liturgical Studies (ISSN 1937-3252): This series is intended to provide a venue for studies about liturgies as well as books containing various liturgies. Liturgy is the focal point of self-identification for most sacramentally-based Christian and various Judaic traditions, and yet liturgical sourcebooks remain poorly understood by many within these traditions. Gorgias Press makes liturgical studies available to those who wish to learn more about their own worship and practice or about the traditions of other religious groups. The series includes works on service music, the daily offices, services for special occasions, and the sacraments.

| 978-1-59333-800-8 | Howard, George Broadley. The Christians of St. Thomas and Their Liturgies
Originally written to inspire sympathy for their Eastern Christian compatriots among the membership of the Church of England, Howard’s study has become a touchstone for those seeking a sense of antique Christian liturgical practice. After providing a history of the “St. Thomas Christians,” the Orthodox Christians of India, up until the mid-nineteenth century, Howard presents English translations of six different anaphorae in use in Christendom: namely, those of St. James, St. Peter, The Twelve Apostles, Mar Dionysius Barsalibi, Mar Xystus, and Mar Evannis.

| 978-1-59333-801-5 | Husmann, Heinrich. Die Melodien der Jakobitischen Kirche
Published two years apart, the work of musicologist Heinrich Husmann on the music of the Syriac Orthodox Church remains a unique contribution to the liturgical study of that tradition. The first volume of this set is a study of the melodies of the weekly breviaries, arranged by the canonical hours of the days of the week. These studies are according to the offices as sung by Mor Cyril (Qorillos) Jacob, then Metropolitan of Damascus. The second volume contains the vigils, recorded by Mor Jacob’s brother, Malphono Asmar Khouri. The vigils, in eight modes, are dedicated to the Virgin Mary, the saints, penitence, and the departed.

| 978-1-59333-802-2 | Jeannin, Jules Cécilien . Melodies Liturgiques
The classic exploration of Syriac liturgical melodies, the work of Dom Jeannin has no rivals.

Homilies in strophic form, the popular poetry of the fifth-century qole, antiphonal psalms, anthems, melismatic hymns or litanies, and melodies from Mosul are just part of the service music and hymnody discussed in the introduction and presented with their melodies in Syriac.
