PREFACE

The very nature of .the Hours of the Monastic Psalter in the Western Rite provides a rich abundance of devotional material for each of the seasons of the Liturgical Year. Although outside of the Holy Triduum and the Week of Pascha the structure of the Psalter-does not change, most of the Antiphons, Responsories, Hymns, Scripture and Patristic Lessons, and Collects are -changed to correspond to the Feasts and mysteries of Our Lord, the Holy Theotokos, and the Saints: Therefore, to chant the praying of the Psalter it is necessary to have both the Psalter, as structured by St. Benedict of Nursia, and also the Proper portions of the Psalter that are reserved for the particular Feast being observed. This Volume of the Psalter, Volume XXj the

... Sanctoral Propers for the Julian Months of June (Part 2) and July (Part 1), therefore, is meant to be used from June 24th I July 7th through July 9th I 22nd in simultaneous conjunction with the main portion of the Psalter given in Volume I, the Psalter Outside of Paschaltide. Therefore, on any given Feast day during this Month, virtually every;; Hour of the Monastic Psalter therefore will require the chanters to have both Volume II and Volume XX of the Psalter in front of them on their analogion or lecturn, and to turn from one to the other, as directed to do in this Volume of the Propers of t~e Saints. In editing these Volumes, however, every effort has been made to minimize the number of times needed to alternate between the Volumes in use, so that this would be done at most two or three times per Hour or per Nocturn. Keeping in mind that the structure of the Hours during this Season remains the same as that given in Volume I, it should be always understood that when a portion of any Hour is given in this Volume, it completely re:@laces the same portion given in Volume ·1; but any part of . any Hour that is given in Volume I, when no replacement for it is given in this Volume, is to be sung in addition to the parts of the same Hour given in this Volume. This, of course, Includes thf1 Introduction and Conclusions of each of the Hours" the Hymns at the Little Hours (Prime, Terce, Sext,and None), as well as the Hymns Te Deum ande T e Decet Laus at Night Vigils (Matins). To determine the correct day's text and instructions, it will of course be necessary to have the current year's copy of the Western Rite Julian Calendar, which is annually obtainable from St. Gregory's Press at one of the addresses given on the title page.

Once again, the Editors would like to express their enduring gratitude to the Very Reverend Father John Shaw, onetime Dean of. Holy Protection Russian Orthodox Cathedral in Chicago for the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia. Father John first pointed us in the direction of these manuscripts, and then spent many hours translating the chant notation and clarifying an understanding of the manuscript which our ineptitude prevented. Likewise, we would want to express our gratitude to Father Justin of Holy Transfiguration Monastery in Boston, Mass. for extending to us i the kind permission of Bishop Ephraim for using their translation (1987) of the Psalter. This translation served well our purposes in preserving ancient Orthodox worship, and in the rare places (such as Psalms 13 and 94) where the ancient Western usage derived from the Latin Vulgate translation of St. Jerome of Sidonium had made use of Septuagint manuscripts with additional phrases, these phrases, taken from the translation of the Septuagint by Sir Lancelot Brenton (1851), have been included in our Psalter within parentheses. We are confident that this usage has preserved the ancient meaning of the Psalms which were so dear to the early Christians, and which spoke so directly of the prophecies that were fulfilled in the coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

iv

In editing this material, we have taken some liberties regarding matters of capitalization, hyphenation, and versification (which follows that of the Vulgate), so as to best allow the unpracticed eye to chant these texts prayerfully and with a minimum of error. Also, the chant melodies for the many Hymns have been kept to a simple number preserved in these manuscripts, and variant melodies are provided only when the manuscript so directs. In actual medieval usage, many more melodies were probably utilized at the discretion of the Precentors, depending mainly on the training of the Monks or Nuns:' In keeping the number of these lower, it is, hoped that our enfeebled minds may not be overly more occupied by the mechanics of chanting our

praises than by the content of offering in our prayer. '

Also, we would like to thank our fellow brethren of' the Synod of our Metropolitan Orthodox Church of Milan at St. Hilarion's Monastery and St. Hilarlon's Guild Press in Austin,· Texas for providing so- fine a computer typing of

.... the text of the Psalms which we' were able to edit. This entire volume is printed using

Multi-Lingual Scholar, a /' word processing DOS program put out by

Gamma Productions in Santa Monica, California, combined with our own rendition of', Gregorian Chant fonts. This software has made possible that which Monks and Nuns j! of the ancient Scriptorlum could only have dreamed about. .

This series is divided into many Volumes, for which Volume I is the Psalter Outside of Paschaltide, Volume II is .the Psalter to be used in Paschaltide (from Low Sunday through the Octave of Pentecost), and Volume III begins the Proper Offices with those for the Season of Advent, and Volume XIII, with those for the Feasts of Our Lord, the Holy Theotokos, and the Saints. The Offices of the Holy Triduum and those of the Week of Pascha, while having a Monastic usage, are not technically part of the Monastic Psalter, as the Cathedral Use like that of Old Sarum, not the Rule of St. Benedict, has provided the structure for these offices ever since the Monastic Council of Aachen (Alx-la-Chapelle) in 817 A.D., 'and thus are provided for in separate Volumes of the Proper.

Finally, we apologize that our effort could not prove to be more grand, since, in order to complete these Volumes in a suitable time frame, we have neglected style and~ the multitudinous ornamentations that our holy predecessors provided in their manuscipts. May Heaven forgive us! And may all who use these volumes pray for the souls of the unworthy workers who have put them together. 0 Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy upon us, the sinners.

And Cath'llc Faith is this: t "That we worship One i God in Trin-it-y, * and

Trinit-y ~ in U-nit-y; _

"Neither con- T fnun-ding the Per-sons, * nor div-i-ding J_ the Sub-stance.

"For there is One Person of the Father, An- i oth-er Of the SOR, * and Another

A "But the God-Head of the Father, of the Son, and of the Ho-ly T Ghost is All

One; 01< the Glory Equal, the Mjljes-ty <;o~ ~ E-ter-Qal. -<

"Such as the Fath-er i is, Such is the Son~, * and Such is ~ the Ho-ly Ghost.

'" "The Father Eternal, the tsee E-ter-nal, 01< and the Holy Ghost ~ E-ter-nal.

"As also there are nQ.t foree ineomprehensibles, nor T three an-cre-a-ted, * but

One Incomprehensible, and One Un- J_ cre-a-ted. ~ , ,

"So likewise the Father is Almighty, the} Son~Al-migh-tY.l * and the Hply GhOst t AI-migh-tY. ' "As yet there are not i three al-migh-ties, >I< but One t Al-mlgh-tj', ~I "SO the Father is i God, the Son is G9d, * ,and the Ho- ~ ly Ghost is God.

"As yet they l' are not three gods, 01< i but One God. I, "So likewise the Father is i Lordvthe SOn is I..Prd, * and the Ho- .l ly Ghost is Lord. "As yet there T are not three lords, * i but One Lord.

"For like as we are compelled by the Christian verity to acknowledge Ev'ry Person by Him- i self to be G9d,i:md Lord, >I< so are weforbidden by Cath'lic religion

to say, 'There be three gods,J:or th~ee lords.' <.

"The l' Fath-er is Made of nope; 01< neither Created nor l Be-got-:-ten.

"The Son is of the T Fath-er-A:--lOne; 01< not Made, nor Created, but l Be-got-ten. "The Ho-ly Ghost iii: T of the Fath-er;.:" neither Made, nor Created, nor

Begotten, but t Pro-ceed-Ing. _

"So there is One Father, not three fath-ers; t i One Son, not three sons; * One

Holy Ghost, not 'l thi-ee ho-ly ghosts. \"

"And in This Trinity None is afore, or after oth-er; t None is Greater, or" T Less, tha~ An-oth-er; * but the Whole Three Persons are Co-Eternal together, and

t Co-E-qual. , ,

"So that tn all things, as iSA a-fore-said, t the Unit- T y in Trin-it-y, 01< and the

Trinity in Unity is to t be Wor-shipp'd. _ ,

"He therefore that l' woiild be sa.-ved * must thus think of t the Trin-it-y." Furthermore, it is necessary to ever- l' las~ting sal-va-tion * that he also believe rightly the Incarnation of Our t Lord Je-sus Christ.

For the Orthodox Faith is this: "That we believe and con-fess t that Our Lord Jesus l' Christ, the Son of God, * ~ is .God and Man;

"God, of the Substance of .theFath-er, lJe- i got-ten be-fore the worlds; * and

"Who, although i He be God and Man, * yet .He is not Two, ~ but One Christ; "One; not by conversion of the l' God-head in-to Flesh, * but by Taking of the Man- l hood in-to God;
