Kashkol

[Paul Younan]

Shlama!

The following snippet is from http://www.betnahrain.net/Biographies/yosipe.htm

The late Mar Yosip Khnanisho has written many prayer books like Kashkol, a book of hymns, and has translated the liturgy of ordination, the Church sacraments, and others. He has authored many books of his own, including compositions of praise to be sung on religious holidays, many of which have been published in the book of ???Turgama???.

Anyone know where can I get a hold of the book Kashkol?

Many thanks!

Shlama Akhi Lars,

I've never personally seen a copy. We might have one at the library of St. John's. From what I understand it's simply a shortened version of the Khudra for use on the weekday prayers. So I don't think it contains anything new or unique, it's just a small reference work.

In reality, there seems to have other "Kashkuls" - there is a manuscript at the University of Glasgow from the 17th century from the area of northern Iraq that was called by that name, written by a certain Shamasha of the CoE.
