RL 1145 Brightman, Frank Edward and Charles Edward Hammond. Liturgies eastern and western. Vol.1 Eastern liturgies: being the texts original or translated of the principal liturgies of the Church. Edited with introductions and appendices by F.E. Brightman on the basis of the former work by C.E. Hammond. Published by Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1896, civ, 603p, glossary, index. Original gilt-blocked cloth, fraying to corners and at head and heel of spine, some along spine edge. Some bottom corners of pages at back folded over. At some point in the past, the front inner hinge has been neatly repaired. All in all, a decent copy of a wonderful work. Sadly, no more published, Brightman died before the volume on Western liturgies was written. A great loss to scholarship. The Syrian rite -- A. The apostolic constitutions -- i.
