История русской гимнографии: осуществленные и неосуществленные проекты

The author of the article raises the problem of compiling a reference-book devoted to the history of the texts of contemporary Church Slavonic Liturgical books. The survey of such attempts undertaken in the 20th century is presented in the article. The description of the recently found manuscript reference-book “The Services to the Russian Saints appeared during the Synod period of the Russian Church” compiled by Hieromonk Herman who died in 1942 in a prison hospital is central to the article. Now this reference-book is being prepared for publication.
