The article examines the Melismos composition and its connection to the liturgical formulary and Byzantine literary sources interpreting it.

В данной статье анализируются работы православного богослова и религиозного публициста прот. А. Шмемана, посвященные проблеме секуляризации в обществе модерна. Реконструируется контекст рассуждений Шмемана, связанный с развитием в послевоенное время в США и Европе идей теории модернизации и «секулярной теологии». Отмечается оригинальность трактовки Шмеманом сущности секуляризации как элиминации «сакраментальности богослужения», критически анализируются выводы Шмемана, связанные с ...

The vast majority of Syriac sources that have come down to us came from the ecclesiastical and scholarly elite. It was therefore natural for Syriac studies to focus primarily on the doctrines and normative practices promoted by these authors. Within this field of study, another historiographical vein has focused on magic and the occult sciences. ...
