Irmologion

Irmologion ( heirmologion) is a liturgical book of the Eastern Orthodox Church and those Eastern Catholic Churches which follow the Byzantine Rite. It contains irmoi for the various canons which are chanted during the morning service. The book Irmologion derives from heirmos meaning "link". The irmos is a melodic model which preceded the composition of the odes. Hence, logeuĊ means "to collect", because within the irmologic repertoire there are more canons (or akrosticha) than irmoi.
