This volume contains twenty-five selected papers of the 2008 congress of the Society of Oriental Liturgy held in Rome. The Society is a non-confessional scholarly association dedicated to the study of Eastern Christian worship, founded at its first congress in Eichstätt, Germany in 2006. The Society’s scope and purpose is to foster that study in all its aspects, such as the origins of Eastern liturgy, history, current practice, theology, and spirituality. The field includes related disciplines, such as hymnography, architecture, iconography, and their multiple methodologies. This volume shows the great variety of the field in question and brings to light new interesting and relevant research results by scholars working in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. The papers deal with, inter alia, the Armenian, Coptic, Ethiopian, Georgian, Greek, Russian, Serbian, Syriac, and Ukrainian ritual-liturgical traditions, their development, and their meaning.

The Society of Oriental Liturgy (SOL) is an international academic society dedicated to the scholarly study of the various Eastern Christian liturgical traditions and related fields in all its aspects and phases, including allied disciplines, and its multiple methodologies. By this it unites scholars from all denominations. This volume comprises sixteen selected papers from the Seventh Congress held in July 2018 in Presov, Slovakia, on very diverse traditions: Armenian, Byzantine, Coptic, Ethiopian, Georgian, and Syriac, across a wide range of countries and cultures. The authors study inter alia the texts of liturgical services, the genesis of liturgical books, their translations and adaptations, liturgical theology, architecture, liturgical history, and allusions to liturgy in popular literature. The papers discuss both the historical practice of diverse Eastern Churches and the current situation. Thus, the present collection of articles shows clearly the progress made in an attractive field of research.
