Hello everyone, I am curious about the various pontificals of the eastern rites (Chaldean, Syro Malankara, Maronite, etc.) I would like to read the forms for myself and see if Montini changed any of them. I know the melodies of the byzantine rite were changed, but that is not substantial and it honestly may have have been a return to tradition rather than a rupture of. I am also interested in seeing what the liturgy of the Maronites and Syro Malabar were like before the liturgical reforms. To me it seems the only thing that changed with the Syro Malabar was them facing the people in instead of the altar. But I don't know anything about the pre vatican II maronite liturgy. I know the traditional chaldean liturgy is basically just the Assyrian Church of the East liturgy with the words of consecration added.
