New work record for "Daily prayers and litanies" in Ethiopic Missal #1895

Closed DenisNosnitsin1970 closed 2 years ago

DenisNosnitsin1970 commented 2 years ago

I wonder if it makes sene to create a collective overarching record for the texts that build up "Daily prayers and litanies" part of Ethiopic Missals. "Daily prayers" might include the "Prayers of the Covenant" and three supplication types (all with IDs), in full or in part. Conceptually it is one of the three major Missal parts, along with the Ordinary of the Mass (does not circulate as independent text) and (14) Anaphoras.

Please give your judgements :)

I am not an authority in liturgy, maybe we can also ask what @smaugustine @karljonaskarlsson @MarcinKrawczuk think, they have worked more with relevant texts.

karljonaskarlsson commented 2 years ago

@DenisNosnitsin1970, what do you mean with the "three supplication types"? Just so I understand

DenisNosnitsin1970 commented 2 years ago

Mastabqwe', Liton, Zayenagges.

Ok, I don't know Qǝddāse manuscripts well enough to know how they are normally organised. But these (kidān and the other three) also often appear in the Mǝʿrāf, at least sometimes as a group. So it might make sense also from that perspective.

Without being an expert in Qǝddāse either, I think that this could be useful, and such a record doesn't yet exist.

karljonaskarlsson commented 2 years ago

But is "Daily prayers" a good term? Velat writes that they are used by lay people at home, but performed exclusively by the priest during the services. He refers to them as "Prières sacerdotales". When they appear in Qǝddāse MSS, I would suppose that they are there rather because of their liturgical function.

DenisNosnitsin1970 commented 2 years ago

Kidan/Covenant is performed more often than the rest (texts for eucharistic liturgy)

DenisNosnitsin1970 commented 2 years ago

Well, "Prayers and litanies"? I think I picked "Daily prayers" somewhere.

karljonaskarlsson commented 2 years ago

Maybe "Kidān, Liṭon, Mastabaqʷǝʾ, and Za-yǝnaggǝś" as a name? It would be very self-explanatory.

DenisNosnitsin1970 commented 2 years ago

It should be better smth "overarching". The terms for separate types will appear in the sub-items.

karljonaskarlsson commented 2 years ago

Maybe one could follow Velat and have "Sacerdotal prayers"? If there is no Ethiopian term that encompasses all of them.
