Notes on the hymnographers of the Pentecostarion

Summary/Abstract: he Pentecostarion is one of the most beautiful and richest in theological and spiritual themes among the service books. At the same time, it is also seldom researched and critically analyzed in terms of its hymnographic content - much of which has remained in manuscripts - but especially of its authors. As such, we considered necessary to analyze one of the most renowned authors of the Pentecostarion, Joseph, who at the same time is among the most controversial due to the fact that there are two hymnographers with this name: Joseph the Studite and Joseph the Sicilian. In the present study, we have focused only on the triodes attributed to Joseph, whichever one he may be. As a working method we have used comparative analysis, both of scholars’ studies and arguments and of various manuscripts and prints, while making use of logical, historical and philological arguments. he question of the authorship of the hymnography of service books in general, and of the Pentecostarion in particular, is always open as long as many manuscripts remain unresearched, and there is no uniformity of auctorial attribution among those researched.
