Summary/Abstract: This article examines the evolution and key features of the printed notated heirmologion in the 19th century – one of the essential psaltic books in Eastern Orthodox liturgical practice. It compares three printed heirmologia from the patriarchal tradition of Constantinople, published by Chourmouzios Chartophylax (1825) and Ioannis Byzantios (1839, 1856), as well as a Church Slavonic heirmologion by Angel Ivanov Sevlievets (1875). The study outlines the characteristics of the first three editions, which serve as prototypes, before analyzing the modifications introduced in the fourth one. Additionally, it highlights specific melodic features of the new heirmoi that arose from the shift in language (from Greek to Church Slavonic).
