Talk:Octoechos (liturgy)

message: I would like to suggest changing the name of this article from "Octoechos (liturgucal text)" to "Octoechos (liturgy)". This would more accurately describe the scope of the article. It would also seem to be more in keeping with the naming conventions employed for other articles about liturgical terms which are synonyms for secular things. I would appreciate any imput about this.

replies: text: Since you've been the primary author of this article, it makes sense to me that you can do what you think best here. I can't remember why I named it as I did when I split it from Octoechos, but I like your title better. TCC (talk) (contribs) 19:48, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The article still needs a continuation in the section "Byzantine history". The subsection about the temporal cycle should mention that the main cycle of the temporal starts on the feast of All Saints. There is another daily cycle for the Easter week. 
The table with the nomenclature of the eight-mode system belongs to the other article about the eight-mode system (this corresponds by the way to Gerda Wolfram's MGG 2 article "Oktoechos" which has two parts, one for the eight-mode system, and one for the liturgical hymn book created during the Studites reform).
In English wikipedia, there are now these branches:
Octoechos                                            	Octoechos
Octoechos and parakletike  Heirmologion  Sticherarion	Hagiopolitan Octoechos (6th-13th century)  Papadic Octoechos (13th-18th century)  Neobyzantine Octoechos (18th-21st century)

replies: text: The history is now fixed and an additional section about the hymn genres has been added. Note that the name Octoechos is usually associated with the octoechos order known from the book heirmologion which can be also ordered according the odes, but the early books until the 14th century are usually ordered according the chant or hymn genres. I added some links to reproductions of manuscripts, so that you can check, how different scribes composed the book. Platonykiss (talk) 16:35, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article restructured and section "Nomenclature" moved to the mother article [[Octoechos]] 

message: The description in the section of the Armenian tradition has to be checked. The usual order in the Greek books is first the authentic and then the plagal echoi. For Paschaltide there is a daily order as well. I advice to have a look at Poliakova's doctoral thesis, because she wrote about the order as it was established by the Stoudios reform and about its reception within the Greek and Slavic traditions. Relevant is here only the order of the sections in the chant books.

replies: text: I hope that the contributors of the Oriental section are satisfied by some reproductions of manuscripts and prints of the Armenian hymnal, which I found recently. I think this is one of those rare cases of wikipedia articles, which can grow thanks to different authors coming from different backgrounds. Let's continue this way.
