The liturgical books published in the Russian Church before Patriarch Nikon contain a very large number of differences among themselves. Books of the same title have differences in their composition, content and presentation. They do not contain the same number of services, and the services do not contain the same prayers, and the prayers themselves differ in presentation. Servants and Consumers are especially different in this regard. Hence, the very services found in the previous printed liturgical books are not identical in many respects in different editions; and therefore, naturally, they should differ from the same services now printed in liturgical books. But it is not the consideration of the differences between these services that constitute the subject of this work, but the ranks and services that are no longer performed in the Orthodox Church and therefore are not published in current books.
There is no doubt that each of the services under consideration should be the subject of special study. For a complete examination of them, the time has hardly come when not only the handwritten liturgical books stored in various libraries that preceded the printed ones have not been published; but not all of them are described in sufficient detail.
When presenting church services in this work, it was intended to show the peculiarity of the Divine service that existed in the Russian Church in former times. The services are considered mainly by the Service Book and the Consumer Book of Moscow publications.
To the article about the action of the week of Vay, to show the difference between the two orders of this action, two drawings are attached - one from the Travels of Adam Olearius - (Voyage en Moscovie ed. Amsterd. 1727), the other from the Travels around Russia by Baron Meirberg, (published by F. Adelung in St. Petersburg, in 1827). Both drawings were originally drawn by the travelers themselves.
