Georgian Lectionary
Let me just say first off
that this is the lectionary that I've put the most time into, and perhaps
therefore have the most
familiarity with and for which I have the most affection. The process that
led to the creation of this page began in the
midst of a serious illness (adult chicken pox: both icky and dangerous),
with my checking all of the scriptural references
given by Tarchnischvili, ascertaining the corresponding NRSV citations for each.
After an initial compilation of only the
readings into an index, I decided to produce a full translation, as a companion
to the Armenian lectionaries, which are
quite similar, as mentioned below. I was also fascinated by observing the
development of the lectionary of Jerusalem.
This form of the Jerusalem lectionary, as preserved in
the Georgian tradition, dates to approximately 700 AD.
Please note that my translation was on occasion rushed, and may not be the
best, as it is based only upon the Latin
translation of the Georgian provided by Tarchnischvili for those, like myself,
who know no Georgian. Suggestions for
improvements are certainly welcome, as well as any questions, here.
This lectionary is clearly
in a relation of descent from the Jerusalem lectionary represented by the
Armenian tradition. See
my presentations of both the Renoux Armenian Lectionary
and the Conybeare Armenian Lectionary. The
Georgian Lectionary
shows an elaboration of the prescribed psalms and hymns, and an increase in the
variety of the types of those hymns. Some
include incipits which are recognizable in modern Greek Orthodox services. However, the Greek Lectionary differs
markedly
from the Jerusalem tradition. Tradition, however, indicates the origin of
the Greek Lectionary to be the Mar Saba Monastery
in the Judean desert, so similarities in hymnography may be explained by this
proximity.
The source for this
lectionary are the following volumes:
Tarchnischvili, Michel, ed. Corpus scriptorum Christianorum orientalium ;
188-189, 204-205 : Scriptores Iberici ; t. 9-10,
13-14. Le grand lectionnaire de l'ɧlise de J鲵salem
(Ve-VIIIe si裬e). Louvain : Secr鴡riat du Corpus SCO, 1959-1960.
The introduction (188/9) is in French, and the text of the lectionary (189/10,
204-205/13-14) is presented in Georgian with a
facing page Latin translation done by Tarchnischvili.
The reference numbers in
the left column are those of Tarchnischvili. Within the translation itself,
I've included scriptural
citations in square brackets, and generally dispensed with including the incipits/explicits
of the biblical texts, except in the
Psalms and Lines, where I include the incipits, and in a few cases where there
are notable differences, as in section 149, etc,
which is Heb 11.32-40 with interpolations indicating the identities of the
various martyrs. I have translated the indicator for a
response, stichus, as line, simply because the word means line
and does not always represent a response. Otherwise, most
of the liturgical hymnological terms (hypakoi, troparion, etc)
have not been translated. Regarding the mysterious term kverexi,
I have learned from email correspondence from the Rev. Dr. George A. Leylegian
of Saint Gregory Armenian Church in San
Francisco and from Hieromonk Gregory of the Xristianskij Vostok (Christian
Orient) periodical Editorial Board, that the term is
related to the Greek kêryx/kêrygma (preaching
or proclamation) and Armenian qaroz (exhortation),
and that it refers to either a
paragraph-length or antiphonal ektenia or litany, typically one being
appropriate to the place and time of use. I've thus rendered
kverexi here with litany.
Psalm
citations are given with the LXX numbering first, then with that
of the NRSV. References
to points within the
document are
also given within square brackets, utilizing the number in the
left column.
The study of this lectionary
would undoubtedly yield much information in various aspects of Jerusalem's
early Christian period.
Even immediately, in the
readings and hymns selected for the Christimas vigil, we find a fascinating
method of interpretation
of Old Testament texts at work. This method of interpretation is quite
striking, and persists throughout the lectionary. It
deserves close attention in order to determine the tie between the event and
the reading at times. Sometimes this is due
to the use of the Septuagint, which was clearly the version in use here. It's quite enjoyable to observe ancient hermeneutics
at work. The various places, processions, and churches mentioned also make this
a fascinating source for a particular time
in the history of Christians in Jerusalem, with all their long-standing
traditions and practices not yet come under Muslim
restrictions, which would eventually ban processions, and under which dominion
most of the churches mentioned in this work
would fall into ruin, never to be restored.
