This similarity exists despite the fact that the former two Psalters are divided into 60 small units and the latter two into 57. Based on comparative and contextual analysis, the paper argues that all four Psalters not only relate to Jerusalem, but represent consecutive stages of the Jerusalem Psalter itself. It is shown that the the ninth-century Psalter of Jerusalem, which is identical to the Psalter of the (present) Byzantine or Orthodox rite, had been Byzantinized, containing a portion of the Psalter of Hagia Sophia. The paper notes that there exists also a basic similarity between the Palestinian Jewish Psalter division and the Jerusalem Psalter of 57 units and discusses the possibility of a Jewish origin to the Christian Psalter of Jerusalem.

Such adoption in the rite of Jerusalem represented a Byzantine influence before the wave of liturgical Byzantinisation that started in the late ninth and tenth centuries. For the first time, three versions of the New Tropologion are studied together: the Greek original and the Syriac and Georgian translations. The Greek Tropologion Sinai MS NE MG 56+5 is the primary material, compared with Sinai MS Syriac 48 and several Georgian New Iadgari manuscripts from Sinai. The study identifies one certain Byzantine element in the New Tropologion: parts of the feast of St. John Chrysostom, archbishop of Constantinople, and several probable Byzantine elements: the interpolation of the second ode in three canons by Kosmas of Jerusalem and one by John, and parts of the stichera series Αἱ ἀγγελικαὶ προπορεύεσθε δυνάμεις attributed to Romanos the Melodist. By contrast, the interpolated ode 1 in Kosmas’ canon for Great Saturday seems to be of Palestinian origin, and therefore not a Byzantine loan, contrary to traditional views. The article shows that there is considerable variation between the different versions of the New Tropologion.

However, a large number of matching structures and elements between Armenian and Jerusalem offices are not found in the Syrian traditions. Like for the Lectionary, the Armenians adopted the daily office of Jerusalem in the fifth century. The paper shows for the first time that the Armenian Book of Hours (Žamagirk’), in its early layers, constitutes a redaction of the Horologion of the Resurrection cathedral of Jerusalem.

I show that this Office was monastic neither typologically nor sociologically, but practiced at the Great Palace and in public churches at an early date - in addition to monasteries such as Stoudios. I also suggest an earlier date for the adoption in Constantinople of the Jerusalem Office than what has been previously thought.

Schmemann était conscient d'avoir redécouvert, au milieu de sa vie, la compréhension patristique du symbole. Un autre « retour aux sources » fut pour lui la réinstallation de la dimension eschatologique au centre de l'entreprise théologique. La liturgie devint ainsi pour lui symbole rendant présent le Royaume de Dieu. Sur ce point Schmemann pensait également se distancer de toute une branche de la tradition byzantine, à savoir le symbolisme mystagogique, surtout le symbolisme de la vie historique du Christ.
