Divine Liturgy of Ancient Chants by Priest Porphyriy Bazhansky

In 1872, Priest Porphyriy Bazhansky (1836-1920) published a book of ancient chants for the Divine Liturgy entitled: "The Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom according to the best ancient chants in heirmologion notation."  The booklet of 31 pages also included an eight-page introduction, missing in this copy.  The publication received approval in 1870 but was not published at the Stavropegion in Lviv until 1872.  Bazhansky was a teacher of church singing and liturgics at the Lviv Theological Seminary and at the Stavropegial Brotherhood.  In 1890 he published a book, Исторія Руского Церковнаго Пѣнія (History of Rus’ Church Singing), outlining a general history and theory of church singing, including unique details of the history and practice of church singing in Galicia, Western Ukraine.
