Diatiposis

Diatyposis. A.A. Dmitrievsky. Description of liturgical manuscripts stored in the libraries of the Orthodox East. Volume 1: Typika. 1895.

Diatiposis ( other Greek Διατύπωσις - “ image, form ”, full name “The charter of the holy and blessed father of our Athanasius ”, other Greek Ἡ διατύπωσις τοῦ ὁσίου καί μακαρίου πατρός ἠ ἠ ἠ ἠ ἠ ἠ ἠ ἠ ἠ устав Athanasius of Athos (died about 1000) is considered one of the editors of the Studio Charter .

Diatyposis compiled for the Holy Mountain Great Lavra ; for compiling the Diatiposis of the Monk Athanasius of Athos, Ipotyposis was used, the text of which was supplemented and edited, as well as provided with initial chapters on the monastery epitropes and on the procedure for the election and appointment of the abbot . There is no consensus among researchers about the time of the creation of Diatiposis. Pentkovsky believes that Diatiposis was created in the 60s of the X century, I. Mansvetov dates Diatiposis to the end of the X century; John Thomas and Angela Constantinides, who published Byzantine Monastic Foundation Documents, consider the turn of the X and XI centuries to be the time of creation of Diatiposis; Philip Meyer ( German: Philipp Meyer (Theologe, 1854) ) believes that Diatyposis was created after 969. The term "Diatiposis" was introduced by archimandrite Antonin (Kapustin) , who published a partial Russian translation of Diatiposis. The scientific publication of Diatiposis in the original language was first carried out by Philip Meyer in 1894 in the collection Die Haupturkunden für die Geschichte der Athosklöster: Grösstentheils zum ersten Male. Meyer based his publication on the text of the Iversky manuscript of the 16th century No. 754. In 1895, A. A. Dmitrievsky published A.I. The liturgical part of Diatiposis follows the preamble and chapters on epitropes and on the election and staging of the abbot; its content almost coincides with the content of Hypotyposis, differing only in details; liturgical instructions begin with a detailed description of services on the first day of Easter , followed by separate instructions on the period of Pentecost and some holidays, the presentation ends with instructions on Lent, the feast of the Annunciation and the disciplinary rules of life in the monastery. The rules on fasting in the Diatiphosis are more stringent than in the Hypotyposis, they, as they abstain, occupy an intermediate place between the Hypotyposis and later Jerusalem charters .
