Riturile preanaforale în Liturghiile alexandrine greceşti ale Sfinţilor Grigorie Teologul şi Vasile cel Mare
The Pre-anaphoral rites of the Greek Egyptian Liturgies of St. Gregory the Theologian and St. Basil the Great

Summary/Abstract: The Pre-anaphoral rites of the Greek Egyptian Liturgies of St. Gregory the Theologian and St. Basil the Great. The Greek liturgical tradition includes not only the Byzantine Liturgies, but also some rare, less known Greek texts belonging to other eastern traditions (Jerusalem, Alexandria etc.). Recently, a particular interest for the Egyptian liturgies can be observed. The Greek Egyptian liturgical family includes three liturgies: The Liturgy of Saint Mark and the two “borrowed” Cappadocian liturgies of Saint Gregory the Theologian and of Saint Basil the Great. Their central part, the Anaphora, was extensively studied. However, their initial part, the Liturgy of the Word and the Pre-anaphoral rites have been less analyzed. Here we try to offer a complete Romanian translation of the Pre-anaphoral rites of the Liturgies of Saint Gregory of Nazianzus and of Saint Basil, accompanied by a concise analysis of their text.
