| Summary: | A liturgical commentary in verse has come down to us from the Middle Byzantine period, which summarizes established symbolisms and practices of the Divine Liturgy. Once attrib-uted to Michael Psellos, this anonymous poem dates between the end of the eleventh and the late-thirteenth century. It was composed in southern Italy from extant Byzantine liturgical commentaries based on the rite of Hagia Sophia, primarily the late-eleventh century Pro-theoria by Nicholas and Theodore of Andida. This article provides a translation, along with a summary of the extant scholarship and a narrative description of the poem so as to make the text accessible to the novice and expert reader alike. |
