Die syrische Anaphora der zwölf Apostel und ihre Paralleltexte

In his introduction to the present article, Hieronymus Engberding notes that others have previously pointed out the similarities between the Syriac Anaphora of the twelve apostles and the Greek liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, but he also notes that no definitive comparison had yet been produced. Thus, in this article, Engberding attempts just such a comparison. Engberding’s comparison also includes parallel portions from the Marionite tradition of the Anaphora of the twelve apostles. In one column, Engberding offers the Syriac-Antiochene text of the Anaphora, which is accompanied by a German translation. In a parallel column, Engberding offers either the Syriac text of the Marionite Anaphora, accompanied by the Latin version, or the Greek text of the parallel passages from the liturgy of St. John Chrysostom. Following the presentation of these texts, Engberding presents a discussion of the similarities and differences found in the parallel passages.
