Thekaras
Thekaras (Θηκαρᾶς) is called before a monastic prayer book, or during the hours of prayer of the Byzantine Rite was used and is used occasionally today.
The collection of prayers apparently originated in the 13th century (oldest manuscript from 1341), became widespread and was also translated into Slavic in the 15th century. From 1643 the work was printed several times, most recently in 2008.
The author of the book is not known for sure; a Constantinople monk is considered as compiler, perhaps by the name of Johannes Thekaras.
