THE MEDIEVAL MONASTIC PSALTER OF ORTHODOX ENGLAND, NOTED IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE of the Sarum Rite Monastic Office of the Portiforium of Saint Oswald of York and the Antiphonale Wigorniensis in accordance with the Holy Rule of Saint Benedict of Nursia for use in Orthodox Monasteries of the Western Rite VOLUME XIV The Proper of the Saints for the Julian Month of January (Quotations from the Psalms have been made from The Psalter According to the Seventy, translated by the Holy Transfiguration Monastery, Boston, Massachusetts, used by permission.)

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 XIV, the Sanctoral Propers for the Julian Month of January, therefore, is meant to be used from Jan. 14th / 27th through Jan. 3ist / Feb. 13th in simultaneous conjunction with the main portion of the Psalter given in Volume I, the Psalter Outside of Paschaltide. (The days of January from Jan. Ist / 14th through Jan. 13th / 26th are part of the Proper of the Season, and thus will be found in Volume IV of the Psalter, the Seasonal Propers for the Season of Nativitytide, or in Volume V of the Psalter, the Seasonal Propers for the Season of Epiphanytide.) 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 I and Volume XIV of the Psalter in front of them on Volume of the Propers of the 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 his Volume, it completely replaces the same portion given in Volume I; 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 the Introduction and Conclusions of each of the Hours,, the Hymns at the Little Hours (Prime, Terce, Sext, and None), as well as the Hymns T'e Deum and Te 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. In jon to the Feasts given in this Volume, other Feasts that are celebrated in certain locations are to be found in Volume XXIX, Feasts Kept In Some Places during the Julian Month of January. ‘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 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 it 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 thank our brethren of our Synod at St. Hilarion’s Monastery and St. Hilarion’s Guild Press in Austin 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 of the ancient Scriptorium 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 (Aix-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. © Lord Jesus Christ, Son. of God, have mercy upon us, the sinners.
