§ ii. The Liturgy of S.James (Greek). This Liturgy is the surviving Greek representative of the Liturgy once current in Jerusalem, Palestine, and indeed throughout the Patriarchate of Antioch. In this its extant form however it does not represent the true Liturgy of S. James exactly, since it has certainly been modified in some Marks of respects after the Liturgy of Constantinople. For instance, the modlficatlon-

(p. 32, § V I I . b), the Hymns that accompany the Memorial of the Blessed Virgin (p. 45, § xvi. b), and the Great Entrance itself, were all first introduced into the service at Constantinople, and spread to other Churches from that. Further, these insertions point to a time not earlier than the end of the fifth century; indeed the Hymn oi ra x€P0Vftp belongs to the seventh: and the numerous words of controversial theology, already alluded to, which occur passim; and the use of the Creed; all tell of times when protests against heresy were needful. A limit in the other direction is placed by the earliest MS. of the text, which belongs to the tenth century; whence of course there can be nothing of later date than this in the text. On the other hand, it must not be supposed that these .

obviously later insertions overcloud the earlier elements: for there is very much of the staple of the prayers that is manifestly of very great antiquity. The close parallelism of the very wording of a large part of the Liturgy with the Syriac S. James is a good warrant for claiming for such prayers an age greater than the Council of Chalcedon (A.D. 451). Then again the very close agreement of this Liturgy with the account of the Liturgy given by S. Cyril of Jerusalem in his Fifth Mystical Catechesis, delivered in the middle of the fourth century, has great significance, while such special points as the general simplicity of the diction of the prayers, the rubric for the reading of the Lections (p. 29, § 111), in which there is no mention of any Lection from the New Testament; and the simple way in which several times the Apostles are mentioned, without the string of epithets with which a later age thought to do them greater honour, all seem to lay claim to an early period rather than a late one. The ritual too is cumbrous as compared with that of S. Basil or S. Chrysostom, which superseded it. We seem in looking at these Liturgies side by side to be reminded of a Norman Church in contrast to one in Early English, and one in the Decorated, style of architecture. There are only three MSS. of this Liturgy known to exist:—

viz. i . One of the twelfth century, from which Demetrius Ducas published the Editio princeps in 1526, and of which all the texts that have been published, including the present one, are reprints. 2. Cod. Messanensis, so-called from having been first found in the monastery of S. Salvador near Messina. This belongs to the end of the 10th century. Daniel's dercription of it is ' mutilus et oscitanier conscriptus' 3. Cod. Rossanensis, found at Rossano in Calabria, and thence carried to the library of the Basilian monks at Rome. It is of the early twelfth century. These last two Codices give a text substantially the same as the first, but with a great many small differences. The various readings from them were first published by Assemani in the fourth volume of his Codex Lilurgicus, and again by Daniel in his Cod. Liturg., vol. iv. The text of S. James's Liturgy has been often published. Besides Dr. Neale's well-known ' Primitive Liturgies,' there are useful editions with notes by Dr. Daniel (as above), by Rev. W. Trollope, and by Bp. Rattray. The last, however, called 'Liturgy (the Ancient) of the Church of Jerusalem,' 1744, 4to., is a rare book. § iii. The Liturgy of S. James (Syriac). Ecclesiastically the Syrian Christians 1 may be divided into Four bodies four classes. There are the orthodox, or Melchites, as they sp^Sng" are sometimes called, who are now in communion with the see chnstlans ' of Constantinople, and have adopted the Liturgy of S. Chrysostom for that of the Syriac S. James; the Nestorians, of whom we shall speak presently, when we discuss the Liturgies of Group I I I ; the Jacobites; and the Maronites. The Jacobites are Monophysites, as regards their creed. The Maronites were originally Monothelites, but in the twelfth century they abjured this heresy and were admitted into com1 Cf. Prof. G. Bickell, 'Conspectus rei Syrorum literariae,' pp. 59-70, for much of the substance of this paragraph.

Epistle of James, Bishop of Edessa, A.D. 6 5 1 - 7 1 0 , 'ad Thomam Presbyierum.' Bunsen 1 praises it as ' the only rational liturgical commentary on the Eastern Liturgies which exists.' The original Syriac with a Latin translation is to be found in Assemani's Bibliotheca Orientalis, torn. i. pp. 479, etc. The Latin translation is reprinted in No. II, of ' Excerpta Liturgica.' (Messrs. Jas. Parker and Co., Oxford). We learn from this document that the Syrian Liturgy of the seventh century was essentially the same as that which we still have.

The ceremony of the Great Entrance here is probably an introduction from the rite of Constantinople, and not a part of the true Liturgy of S. James.
