Maybe it isn't working yet? Administrator said it would be there until December.

What is a Typikon?

In short, the 'book' which contains the rules and rubrics governing every aspect of church services and their celebration thoughout the year.

I'm note sure if any of the 'Ruthenian' Churches have ever published a full typicon (the works of Dolnytsky, etc. are abbreviations). For an example of a 'full' Typicon, my copy of the Nikonian Typicon is 1,169 pages and weighs in at just under 2 kg.

There is a project underway to translate the Nikonian Typicon into English. A Table of Contents [synaxis.info] can be found in the Typicon [synaxis.info] section of Synaxis.info.

Σώσον, Κύριε, καί διαφύλαξον η�άς από τών Βασιλιάνικων τάξεων!

The typikon Fr. Petras produces is the one in common use within the Ruthenian metropolia (Byzantine Catholic Church).

I looked in and saw the message on Fr david's site:

Under Construction!

Available approximately December 1, 2005

So not long to go.

Thank you, there is so much new lingo to learn.

This website has come along a bit. You can now go and order the typikon - it throws you a link to where you can buy it online for $12 and download it - or just contact Eastern Christian Pubs and get it from them.

It ain't a free download.

I'll buy it.

I purchased the online version of the Typicon and it initially worked like a charm. Now, as we approach the time that I need it, I find that I can suddenly no longer access it. The website says my username or password is incorrect. I kind of doubt that, because I let my browser remember the password for me, but, just to be sure, I re-typed the password and got the same error. In desperation I clicked on the "Forgot my password" link and the website gave me a "server error". Is anyone else having this difficulty, or am I special?
