Chanter's Engolpion

[Antonis]

Does anyone have any recommendations for a chanter's engolpion in either Greek or English/Greek? It would be much appreciated, thank you!

The term "Engolpion" usually refers to the medallion worn by a bishop.

This is intriguing.  Can you post a photo of what you are looking for?

I probably should have added a note about what a chanter's engolpion is so as not to confuse people.

It is not the medallion-shaped ornament that bishops wear around their neck, but rather a handy book for chanters which is essentially an anthology of often-used hymns, typika, etc.

Here is an example of one, in plagal four:

That depends upon what jurisdiction you are in.  The bishop regulates what books are used in his eparchy.

I think you misunderstand, father. I am aware of my diocese's regulations, this is simply a place where a chanter could find, for instance, an outline of the Liturgy, the great doxology, the resurrectional apolytikia, the apolytikia and kontakia for great feasts, often-used psalms, etc. It is not a liturgical book in and of itself, but merely an aid to chanters so that they would not have to flip through multiple volumes to find often-used material.

Yes, but while those are standard in Greek, you asked about Greek and English.  The GOA has varying translations in English, and so he would need to know which English translations are approved by the bishop and which are not.

Interesting. Is it typical to have a different volume for each tone, or are there also single-volume versions? I know the Russian church has a single-volume Obikhod (which STS is producing in English at the end of this year).

The engolpia that I have seen in person are not typically in any particular tone, no. The one I showed in that image is kind of peculiar in that it contains musical direction.

Back in Greece there's an official reader's & chanter's handbook, apparently a bestseller, according to the publishers. I can hardly hold back the RPG manual references.

Yes, that is the version that I see most commonly used here, too.
