For this resource:

[quote]Budge, E. A.Wallis. Synaxarium: The Book of the Saints of The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Debre Meheret St. Michael Church, n.d.

The TOC links to the index at the back of the book:

[quote]LIST OF THE SAINTS, MARTYRS, AND EVENTS COMMEMORATED IN THE ETHIOPIAN SYNAXARIUM

Note the index is in calendar sequence - the TOC showing the months in the index. And just to "make my day" the index entries are not linked to their entry in the book itself.

The Table of Contents in the volume itself shows the months, the last month starting on page 731. This printed Table of Contents is also not linked to the actual book.

And yes, the book clearly marks the start of each day so that the links can be made.

THE FIRST MONTH

Meskerem 01
(September 11)

IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT, ONE GOD. AMEN.

This book like other books of the saints should have a calendar index.

In short, this book is one big blog with all the structure and linking omitted.

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
