(i) The Liturgy, which St. Basil himself
used and gave to his clergy and monks, preserved the traditional form
in use in the archdiocese of Cæsarea. cf. De Sp.
Scto. chap. xxvii. p. 41.
It is mentioned in the xxxiind canon of the council
“in Trullo” of 692. This is no doubt the basis of the
Greek Liturgy known as St. Basil’s, and used in the East as well
as the Liturgy of St. Chrysostom. The form in use is contained in
Neale’s Primitive Liturgies (1875). Dr. Swainson
(Greek Liturgies chiefly from Oriental Sources, p. 75) printed
an edition of it from the Barberini ms. in
1884.
