Byzantine and Georgian Hymnographical Legacy (“Lenten Triodion under George the Athonite’s Redaction”)

Summary/Abstract: The “Lenten Triodion” is one of the extremely important liturgical-hymnographical collections, which provides the hymns for the Lent period. This collection contains a treasury of Byzantine and Georgian hymnography – numerous hymns, the authors of which are the outstanding representatives of the Christian Church and culture. A great number of hymns have come down to us anonymously and the authorship attribution is impossible only by Greek sources. The Georgian “Lenten Triodion”, like all other liturgical books, reached the peak of its development thanks to the activity of the greatest representative of the Georgian Church and culture – George the Athonite (1009-1065). Numerous manuscripts containing the “Lenten Triodion” under George the Athonite’s redaction have come down to us. Based on their study, one group of manuscripts which is especially important for the study of this collection has been singled out. Our goal is to prepare for publication the academic text of the “Lenten Triodion” under George the Athonite’s redaction according to nine Georgian manuscripts of the XI-XV centuries, along with relevant studies. Among the manuscripts contained in this collection, special importance is attached to the manuscript kept at the National Library of Paris – Paris. Georg. 5. As it turns out, this is a unique manuscript of this collection having autograph importance, which we took as a basis for the publication of the “Lenten Triodion” under George the Athonite’s redaction.
