Greek Liturgical Manuscript

This manuscript page features Byzantine musical notation (Psaltic art) for liturgical chants. The text is written in Greek using black ink for the main body and red ink for decorative initials, liturgical signatures (martyriae), and a section heading. The page is organized into two columns. The musical neumes (symbols for melody and rhythm) are placed above each syllable of the text.

Lord, I have cried out to You, hear me, hear me, Lord.

Lord, I have cried out to You, hear me, attend to the voice of my supplication when I cry out to You; hear me, Lord.

+ By Iakovos the Protopsaltis First Chanter, Mode 2.

Lord, I have cried out to You, hear me, hear me, Lord.

Lord, I have cried out to You, hear me, hear me, Lord.

Let my prayer be directed as incense before You, the lifting of my hands as an evening sacrifice; hear me, Lord.
