Description
Summary:A vita of Herekleides, deriving from Cyprus and datable between the fifth and the seventh centuries, describes various liturgical events. These descriptions seem to presuppose a stage of liturgical development comparable to that known at Antioch in the middle of the fourth century. This vita is thus a valuable, albeit neglected, source for the history of the Antiochene liturgy. Une vita chypriote d'Héraklide, datée entre le ve et le viie siècle, décrit divers événements liturgiques. Les descriptions semblent présupposer une étape de développement liturgique comparable à celle connue à Antioche au milieu du ive siècle; en tant que telle, la vita doit être considérée comme une source précieuse, bien que négligée, pour l'histoire de la liturgie d'Antioche.
