My edition of the Rule of the Theotokos is now posted at the Rosemary Tree blog: http://therosemarytree.blogspot.com/2009/01/rule-of-theotokos-byzantine-rosary.html

It can also be accessed by typing "Rule of the Theotokos" on Google.

I based the translation of the common prayers on the Antiochian Service Book, making corrections based on the Greek original. The decade meditations are based on the form found in chapter five of An Early Soviet Saint - The Life of Father Zachariah.

Whoever wishes is welcome to make use of it.

Gabriel,

Nicley done, but I would offer one suggestion. Wednesday is a day of commemoration of the Holy Cross in the Byzantine Church, the Passion Cycle would more properly be commemorated on Wed and Fri.

I had an earlier edition that did what you suggest, partly under the influence of the Byzantine Rosary book formerly published by the seminary press. I finally returned to the sequential order for a number of reasons.

Commemorating the resurrection on Wednesday evening (evening is when we pray it in our family) manifests what the Cross is all about!

However, the rubrics (which are really red in my print edition) are of a suggestive nature. Do as you will!
