Errata

Anthologion: Errata

All human efforts are prone to error, and we humbly ask forgiveness for these which we have encountered in the The Anthologion. This is a monumental book combining the efforts of several different translators, and our editorial process did not catch every error.

Third Printing

No errors have been reported in the third printing.

Second Printing

The following changes from the second printing have been made in the third printing:

Page lxxvii: Layout error: The header for the 6th Thursday and Friday of Lent should be moved up one line, to include "Gen. 46:1-7" and "Gen 49:33-50:26," respectively.
Page 69: Typographical error: The first two verses of Psalm 148 are incorrectly repeated twice. Also on page 188.
Page 431: Typographical error: "I pass my whole life in indifference."
Page 528: Correction: The Kontakion of the Ascension is in Tone 6.
Page 579: Correction: The first Old Testament reading for the Holy Fathers is incorrect. The passage is cited correctly (Genesis 14:14-20), but the wrong text is given. It should be the passage about the rescue of Lot and the blessing of Abram by Melchizedek.
Page 906: Typographical error: "mercies that you ever pour out."

These and other errors were corrected in the third printing.

First Printing

The following changes from the first printing have been made in the second printing:

Major Additions

Page lviii: Expanded information about reading the Kathisma Stases
Page lx: Added a chart for reading the Psalter when the Annunciation falls on the 5th Thursday of Lent
Page 517: Added the special Weekday Theotokia for the end of Matins, which differ from those at the beginning of Matins. (This omission from the first printing was intentional, but we later decided, ill-advised.)
