Page "Patriarch Germanus I of Constantinople" Paragraph 8

Several of his writings have been preserved.

His Historia Ecclesiastica was a popular work in Greek and Latin translations for many centuries, and remains often quoted by scholars.

Parts (?

) of it were published in English in 1985 as On the Divine Liturgy, described by its publishers as " for centuries the quasi-official explanation of the Divine Liturgy for the Byzantine Christian world ".

However the Catholic Encyclopedia is dubious that the work is actually by Germanus.

Among his writings was the hymn " Μέγα καί παράδοξον θαῦμα " translated by John Mason Neale as " A Great and Mighty Wonder ", although Neale misattributed this to Saint Anatolius.
