Divine Liturgy OF The Armenian Apostolic Orthodox Church with Variables, Complete Rubrics and Commentary The Saint Sarkis Church, by Saint Sarkis Church, London - 1984

This book is as new. The only problem is that it does not have a dust jacket.

"The present translation of the Divine Liturgy of the Armenian Apostolic Orthodox Church has been made from the 'Mystery-Book' printed in Jerusalem in 1927 in accordance with the reading ofthe oldest texts under the supervision ofthe late Armenian Patriarch ofJerusalem, Archbishop Eghishe Durean (1860-1930).

The Armenian Liturgy has had several translations into English. Almost all the previous translations are out of print. Some of them are incomplete, in that they do not contain the celebrant's secret prayers. Others are printed together with the liturgies of other churches and are intended for purposes of study by liturgists. All of them are arranged in a manner which is confusing to the reader, especially to those who try to use them for devotional purposes during the performance of the Sacred Liturgy. Above all, none of them is wholly satisfactory from the point of view of exactitude of rendering. In this respect the best among them are the works of F. E. Brightman and of F. Theodorus Isaac (Ter-Issahakian)." - Preface, Divine Liturgy OF The Armenian Apostolic Orthodox Church with Variables, Complete Rubrics and Commentary The Saint Sarkis Church,
