Organization :
Mannanam - Library of the Monastery of St Joseph [Mannanam - India] (Mannanam, INDIA)
Language :
Syriac
Material Lang 1 :
Syriac
Date :
- 19th century
Scope content :
Most of the liturgical manuscripts were breviaries used by the monks in the recitation of the divine office. From the report of Mgr de Brésillac, quoted earlier and dated 1854 we know that it was customary for each young priest to copy his own breviary. As soon as printed texts became available (1876) this practice ended and manuscripts gradually went out of use. A scholar who wishes to study the history of the “breviary” in Syriac Kerala has to study them ; the scope of our book being different it seems enough if we just mention them collectively. At Mannanam we saw also the first printed edition of the Chaldean Missal (Rome, 1774, Superiorum permissu, edited by the Propaganda, though this is not explicitly stated in the book). At the time of the foundation of the monastery Chaldean Missals were already available and for this reason we did not find many manuscript copies of them.
