I was surprise to find this; don't know if it's been posted before.

Thank you father deacon!

Added it to this page. Many thanks!

I was not able to download the file to my computer. Got a message saying there was an error in the file.

Has anyone here been able to downlaod it?

I ended up at this site:

Try this: link

Sorry, I still can't acess it. Now I get this message:


Not sure whatI am doing wrong.

Try this -- just worked using MS Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox:

Right click above link
choose save target as or save link as (depending on browser)

I got two downloads in under 1 min. -- hope it works for you.

For those who like plain, old-fashioned, bound books, try the Antiochian Archdiocese - they usually keep Hapgood in print.

Fr. Serge

ajk, I cannot right-click and download successfully or chase the link. I get the same error as Halia12.

I am determined that you both shall have this, and will provide a different download link in a few hours if needed. In the mean time, just to be clear, this is the link I meant -- right click on the word link in this quote, etc. ( or as in my post above).

ajk - I get a 404 for that - I've never been successful either

Works for me. It automatically starts downloading the file. Maybe some have there downloads settings set different?

In IC XC,
Father Anthony+

If anyone shares my own old-fashioned preference for actual books, the Antiochian Archdiocese usually keeps Hapgood in print.

Fr. Serge

As promised, try this: Hapgood as pdf

If that fails I can email it to anyone who requests; it is, however 16.5MB.

Success!
Many thanks ajk!

I have always used Hapgood for English services. There was not much else around in the early English days.

I have always been grateful that thanks to her use of the Coverdale Psalms they are the ones which I treasure immensely and know by heart.


Where would we have been in the early days without Hapgood?

There were a few drawbacks though . Her Kneeling Prayers at Pentecost are so concentrated grammatically that any poor priest who did not practise them beforehand would descend into gibberish! :-)


This lecture below is a fine tribute to her.

A Linguistic Bridge to Orthodoxy
In Memoriam Isabel Florence Hapgood

By Marina Ledkovsky
Professor Emeritus of Slavic Languages and Literatures
Barnard College, Columbia University

A lecture delivered at the Twelfth Annual Russian Orthodox Musicians Conference, 7-11 October 1998, Washington, D.C.

"...EASTERN ORTHODOX Christians in America know Isabel Hapgood by name, but possibly not much about her life and activities. And yet, she merits to be remembered with respect and gratitude, as she was a champion in the awesome task of translating Orthodox liturgical texts from Church Slavonic into English.

This year is the 70th anniversary of Isabel Hapgood's death and almost the 150th of her birth. Therefore, it is indeed fitting to at least inform ourselves about her personality and her contribution to the Englishspeaking Orthodox communities in the United States......"
