Hundreds of euchologia (prayer books for the use of priests)
survive in Byzantine manuscripts, beginning with the late eighth
century. In addition to the sacramental liturgies, they contain a
multitude of ‘small prayers’ that address situations of everyday life.
These respresent a rich, but hitherto untapped source for the real-life
concerns of women, men, and children across all social strata.
This panel intends to bring prayer books into focus as objects of study on several levels, in order to begin a conversation between specialists in manuscript study, liturgy, and lay piety.
The Workshop will take place in one 2.5 hour session. It will consist of seven paper presentations, of 15 minutes each, with a total of 45 minutes discussion time. Discussion will be scheduled after the fourth paper for 15 minutes, and after the last paper, for 30 minutes.
