Présentation de l'éditeur :
When the Delegates of the University Press invited Mr. Hammond to prepare a new edition of his Liturgies Eastern and Western, first published in 1878, with their consent he put the book into my hands with the generous permission to do as I liked with it. The present volume is an instalment of the result. It will be obvious at once that considerable changes have been made, and I can best explain the aim of the present volume by describing its relations to Mr. Hammond swork. In the first place, in consequence of changes described below, it has been necessary to divide it into two volumes. This first volume accordingly contains only the Eastern texts with related appendices, while the Introduction is confined to the description of materials, such properly liturgical discussions as I may have to offer being for the present reserved. The discussion of the Apostolic Constitutions,, concerned as it is merely with the determination of their place among the data of the history of rites and not with their internal liturgical character, seems properly to belong to this I ntroduction. I cannot but regret the division of volumes, since part of the value of Mr. Hammond svaluable work lay in its handincss, and this is here sacrificed.
