Read an article on the History of the Typikon

The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America's award-winning website www.goarch.org, includes an article by Fr. Alkiviadis Calivas (Prof. of Liturgics, Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology) on "The Origins of Pascha and Great Week". In the article Fr. Calivas has an excellent short history of the Typikon, including the 19th century revisions. Scroll down about half-way on the page to "The Liturgical Text According to Present Usage" for the relevant part of the article. From what I can gather this is the basis of both wikipedia's and orthodoxwiki's articles on the Typikon.
