Remarques sur le canon des défunts écrit par S. Cassia de Constantinople

Tatiana A. Senina (moniale Kassia) / Kassia Senina

Abstract The article contains an analysis of the hymnographic canon for the deaths written by Kassia of Constantinople. It is shown that all its theotokia (apart from the last one) are taken from earlier canons, including the theotokion of the fifth ode that was previously considered as written by Kassia herself. Concluding from its contents, the canon is to be dated to the 860s.
