Maštoc '

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maštoc ' (Maschtoz) is the liturgical prayer book for the hand of bishops and priests in the Armenian rite . It corresponds to the “Great Euchologion ” of the Greek and the sacramentary of the Latin liturgies.

Gravestone of the Catholicos Maštoc 'Ełivardec'i

The name is probably derived from the name of the Catholicos Maštoc 'Ełivardec'i (Maschtoz von Jeghward ; 836-897), who is said to have combined the materials that had previously been handed down separately into a book.
