Богослужебные тексты ~ Liturgical TextsБиблиотека святоотеческой литературы ~Library of Patristic Literature |
These
Slavonic liturgical texts were digitized and made available on
line at the site orthlib.ru, by the Priest
Vladimir Sheen, of the Church
of All Saints of Russia in
Akademgorodok, Novosibirsk, Russia, and Marina
Yurevna Sheen, Professor at the Orthodox
Gymnasium of St Sergius of Radonezh, also in
Akademgorodok. [Akademgorodok, by the way, was built as as
academic community, in a
visually magnificent spot not far from the city of
Novosibirsk; a well phrased web search will yield a
number of links to further information on its history and location
(including maps), and to photographs of the town and the
area.]
In preparing the texts, Father and Matushka used the HIP file format, which yields unlovely results on computers using the Windows or Mac operating systems, unless converted to an appropriate format. Conversion programs have been written for Windows, but to the best of my knowledge, such converters are not yet available for the Mac OS. Click here for a sample of raw HIP contrasted with the same text after conversion. If you would like to understand the HIP standard better, and perhaps download a converter to work with HIP-format files in Microsoft™ Word™, go to http://www.cslav.org/ — the ‘Slavonic Typography Community’ (Сообщество Славянской Типографики) — and follow the links provided there. In
order to make the Slavonic liturgical
texts more widely
available, I
have converted them to PDF documents, and posted them on this
site.
Please see the Disclaimer and the Statement on Intellectual Property Rights, and this note on e-mail “spam”. Those
who need to consult Orthodox Liturgical texts in
Greek will find a fairly complete collection in polytonic Greek at
http://www.analogion.net/glt.
A
link there leads to the same texts in monotonic Greek. The polytonic
texts have been much improved over the last few years, but there are
still some issues with diacriticals in some files, so read judiciously.
