Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Liturgy of Saint Mark the Evangelist, or According to the Use of the Alexandrian Church
The general form and arrangement of the Liturgy of S. Mark may safely be attributed to the Evangelist him self, and to his immediate followers, S. Anianus, S. Abi lius, and S. Cerdo. With the exception of certain mani festly interpolated passages, it had probably assumed its present appearance by the end of the second century. Its Liturgical peculiarity is, the prefixing of the Great In tercession for Quick and Dead to the words of Institution, instead of affixing them to the Invocation of the holy ghost, as does the Antiochene family - or inserting them between the words of Institution and the Invocation, as does the Nestorian.
