Summary/Abstract: This article discusses the matter of the composition of the Service for the Heavenly Bodiless Angelic Powers, which was included in the Old Bulgarian Menaion under the date of 8 November and has no Greek parallel. Taking into account the fact that there are two known canons of probable Old Bulgarian origin, the author searches in various manuscripts for the rest of the chants that, according to liturgical rules, might have been part of the service.
