This book provides readers with an English translation of excerpts from three key texts on the Coptic liturgy by Abū al-Barakāt ibn Kabar, Yūh.annā ibn Sabbā', and Pope Gabriel V. With a scholarly introduction to the works, their authors, and the Coptic liturgy, as well as a detailed explanatory apparatus, this volume provides a useful and needed introduction to the worship tradition of Egypt's Coptic Christians. Presented for the first time in English, these texts provide valuable points of comparison to other liturgical commentaries produced elsewhere in the medieval Christian world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eYūḥannā ibn Sabbā' (Author) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eYūḥannā ibn Sabbā'\u003c\/b\u003e (13-14th centuries) was the compiler of the Coptic theological encyclopedia \u003ci\u003eThe Precious Jewel on the Ecclesiastical Sciences\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(\u003ci\u003eal-Jawharah al-nafīsah fī 'ulūm al-kanīsah\u003c\/i\u003e). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbū al-Barakāt ibn Kabar (Author) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbū al-Barakāt ibn Kabar\u003c\/b\u003e (d. 1324) was a Coptic priest and theologian and the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Lamp of Darkness and the Elucidation of the Service\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eMișbâḥ al-ẓulmah wa-îḍāḥ al-khidmah\u003c\/i\u003e). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eGabriel V of Alexandria (Author) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePope Gabriel V of Alexandria\u003c\/b\u003e (r. 1409-1427) was the 88th Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of the See of St. Mark. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eArsenius Mikhail (Edited \u0026amp; Translated By) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eArsenius Mikhail\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Liturgical Studies at St. Athanasius and St. Cyril Theological School in Los Angeles.
