The Church Slavonic (Slavic) language was devised in the ninth
century. Based on Old Bulgarian, it was created by the Greek
missionary brothers Cyril and Methodius. As the first written
Slavic language it has become the mother of all modern Slavic
languages and continues in daily use in the services of the
Slavic Orthodox Churches. (Russian, Bulgarian, Polish etc.) This
is a comprehensive grammar of the Church Slavonic language,
covering etymology, parts of speech, and syntax. This English
edition was translated from the Russian and includes an
explanation of grammatical points that would be taken for granted
by a native Russian speaker. Long used as a seminary textbook
both in North America and Russia, Archbishop Alypy's work is an
absolutely unique publication in English and is essential for
anyone desiring to study Church Slavonic, from beginning learner
to advanced scholar. Texts for practice are largely drawn from
the Gospels. This is both a unique and authoritative work.
