There were copies (hard bound reprints) available through Byzantine Seminary Press [byzantines.net] a few years ago when I ordered my copy. They were remarkably inexpensive as quality hardbound large format reprints go at $25.

Yes, the lack of information is nothing new, secrecy is the modi operendi!

Perhaps what's needed is one of us to master Slavonic and make an accurate translation into English. I'd love to do both, as I'm a) a musician, b) a songwriter, c) an English teacher/expert. But I'm not d) fluent in Slavonic or e) a theologian.

I'm not saying this to dispute the RDL. I'm saying it to preserve true Prostopinije. Why hasn't anyone done a good English translation of this work?

I was saddened by a comment recently. I was at an OCF meeting and the president suggested that we should start doing vespers in different traditions (not just Greek). He rattled off a list of traditions (Russian, Ukranian, Serbian...) but after he said "Carpatho-Russian" the priest who is OCF's spiritual father said, "Ugh, they've really simplified that." and I got the impression he wasn't a fan. I didn't know what to say. I'm in ACROD and my fellow Prostopinije singer is Byzantine Catholic. We didn't know what to say.

My immediate thought was to go to Bokshay and try to figure it out. But I'm at a loss here.

I posted originally "Check the Byzantine Catholic Seminary Bookstore." But then I just had to come back and modify as someone already recommended them.
