Music Manuscripts	21.9 Akathistos Hymn and Kratematarion 1758 St Paul's Monastery, Cod. 146 Paper, 31.3 x 20 cm, pp. 372 Scribe: Theodosios of Chios
	A fine, well-preserved codex, written by Theodosios of Chios, deacon and protopsaltis at the Metropolis of Smyrna, in 1758. It contains the Akathistos Hymn, with a setting by the lampadarios Ioannis Kladas, together with the Byzantine Kratematarion. At the end lies a copy of the Sung Office of Vespers (pp. 363-372), which is extremely interesting because this office of the Secular Byzantine Rite occurs very rarely. The codex is elegant, with lines of equal length and wide margins. A small, clear script, with both text and notation inscribed with the same pen. Beautiful embellished initials in crimson ink.
	Catalogued-by: Stathis 1993, pp. 140-5.
