Summary

Three fragments from an 11th-century manuscript roll of the Liturgy of Saint Basil in the Byzantine Rite. Two of the fragments are contiguous with text missing between the second and third; the fragments do not include the beginning or end of the roll. The right edge (on the recto) of the first fragment has been badly damaged by rodents with loss of text. The text of a complete roll of this type is read from top to bottom of the recto, and then, turning up the bottom edge, back to the beginning of the roll on the verso. The prayer texts on the fragments correspond, with some variations, to texts in Hai treis leitourgiai kata tous en Athēnais kōdikas (edited by Panagiōtēs N. Trempelas, Texte und Forschungen zur byzantinisch-neugriechischen Philologie, Nr. 15 (1955), 161-193) with minimal ceremonial instructions mostly consisting of speaker designations.
