A Commentary on the Mass (attributed to) the Nestorian George, Bishop of Mosul and Arbel
This volume makes available the previously unpublished English translation made in 1909 by Dom R. H. Connolly, O.S.B., of the Syriac Expositio Officiorum attributed to George of Mosul and Arbel (10th century). Connolly prepared this English version as a working translation for his Latin translation; it was never published in its own right. The present edition, prepared by Fr. Robert Matheus in 2000 with the authorization of the Abbot of Downside, makes this detailed and important East-Syrian liturgical commentary accessible to English-speaking readers.
