Synopsis

The Ethiopic Liturgy by Samuel A.

B. Mercer presents the complete Ethiopic service of Abyssinia in its twentieth‑century form, with a careful introduction, background, and development notes. This edition includes a full translation, critical commentary, and a facsimile of the Ordo Communis with the standard Anaphora, making it a valuable resource for scholars and students of liturgy, church history, and Ethiopic studies.

Mercer explains how the Ethiopic liturgy formed, how it relates to other Eastern and Western rites, and how the text has evolved through centuries. The volume guides readers from sources and earliest forms to the present liturgy, pairing scholarly apparatus with accessible translation so non‑specialists and specialists alike can study the liturgy in context.

  • An introduction to the background and development of early Christian liturgies across traditions
  • Detailed study of the Ethiopic service, including preparation, vesting, anaphora, intercessions, and communion
  • Critical notes, manuscript discussions, and a facsimile of the Ordo Communis with the Anaphora of the Twelve Apostles

Ideal for readers of theology, liturgical studies, and the history of Abyssinia, this edition helps illuminate a sister liturgical tradition in its own terms.
