Kitab Al Quddas (Qurbono) in Arabic and Syriac (Celebrant)

[gmcbroom]

Hello,
I’m interested in buying this book as it has all the liturgies pertaining the Maronite faith in it, hence its 825 pages long. The Maron press lists it as out of print so how could I get a copy of it? As i’m going to a Maronite church and am completely in awe by that aspect of catholism; I’d really like to get a copy of that book. Any ideas?

You can try a general search site for books like www.abebooks.com and you can also look for Donald Atwatter’s book, Eastern Catholic Worship. Attwater was a great scholar from the early to middle of the last century. The book I mentioned above has many of the Eastern Liturgies, although it is a bit dated, published in 1945. Many of the Eastern Catholic liturgies have been modified in some cases to remove forced latinizations, and in some areas to conform with some of the Western Liturgical reforms after Vatican II. The Liturgies contained in it are the Ordinaries, or unchanging parts of the Liturgy, and it does not contain the changable portion of the rites, like the epistle and Gospel, for the feast of Sunday.
