A Description of the Prayers by Patriarch Ignatius Bar Wahib

An edition and English translation of the "Description of the Prayers", one of the few extant works by Ignatius V Bar Wahib (Patriarch of Antioch from 1293-1333). The text has been taken from a manuscript of the Orthodox Theological Seminary, Kottayam, copied in 1915 from a manuscript of the Konat Library. The treatise offers a description of the external aspects of the canonical prayers, including washing and prostration.
