    Summary note
    Anthology of offertories (cherouvika) and communion (koinōnika) chants in the version of Daniēl Prōtopsaltēs and others for the Divine Liturgy (cherouvika-offertories), for the feasts of the Apostles, and for the services of Christmas and Holy Week, the Annunciation of the Theotokos, Easter, Pentecost, as well as other religious holidays. Among other hymnographers named are Petros Lampadarios (also known as Petros Peloponnēssios), Petros Vyzantios (student of Petros Lampadarios), Petros prōtopsaltēs, Iakōvos prōtopsaltēs, Iōannēs Glykys, Geōrgios ho Krēs, and Chourmouzios ho didaskalos. The musical setting of the hymns has been executed by the above names while it has been explained by Grēgorios Lampadarios (also known as Grēgorios, ho Prōtopsaltēs). Colophon on p. 682 states that "Hē vivlos akolouthia ētoi ēnea papadikē. Exēgētheisa para tou hemeterou didaskalou kyriou Grēgoriou Lampadariou, tēs tou Christou megalēs ekklēsias. eis tomous tessaras. 1817: en mēni Iouniou." A second inscription below the colophon in a different handwriting in red ink, reads: "Epriamēn tode to cheirographon drachmōn hepta kai euprepika auto houtōs, epei gegraptai idia cheiri henos tōn epheuretōn tēs neas methodou tēs kath'hēmas mousikēs tou aeimnēstou Grēgoriou Lambadariou tote. Athanasios Sakellariadēs. Athēnēsi, tē 30ē Dekemvriou 1878."
