The Antiphons of the Byzantine Octoechus

The Monumenta Musicae Byzantinae, a series founded by the Danish Academy, are now fairly under way. The first facsimile, that of the Vienna Sticherarium, together with handbooks on the Ecphonetic and the Middle Byzantine Notations, have already appeared. The first volume of Transcripta, the Proper Hymns for September, by Prof. Wellesz, has been published, while the November volume has now also come out. The next publication gives the facsimile of the archaic Hirmologus at the Monastery of the Iberians on Mt Athos (under the title Hirmologium Athoum). This series has the support of the International Union of Academies; and the British Academy has given practical help. Fr. J. D. Petresco, a pupil of Prof. Gastoué at Paris, has brought out a musical edition of the chief Byzantine Hymns for Christmas from several good mediaeval MSS. The present writer has shewn in two articles a new principle of decipherment for the Early Byzantine Neumes.
