HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY IN INDIA : M. M. NINAN Piramadam, Gethsemane Dayro In the picture above: Colophon of Piramadam MS Syr 27, containing the text of the Syrian Orthodox Liturgy (Qurbono) copied in 1689 by the hand of Mor Yovannis Hidaytullah, Antiochian Patriarchal Delegate in India. The text reads: "The writing of the order of the liturgy (Qurbo) and of the Anaphora of Mor Jacob the Messenger, brother of our Lord, was finished by the hand of the wretched and feeble bishop Yovannis in the year 2000 of the Greeks (=AD 1689), in the church of Karamattam (today: Kadamattam). Therefore I am asking every priest who will recite from this [book] to remember his fathers and the brethren and the departed, so that they may find mercy through their [that is, the priests’] prayers; I was copying it for priest Jacob of Muldurthy (today: Mulanthuruthy). Lord, remember him and his fathers in thy mercy. Amen."
