This article appears in Volume V26, Page 292 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SUS-TAV
SYNAXARIUM (Gr. ovvaE&pcov, from ovv&yew, to bring together) , the name given in the
Greek
 
Church
  to a compilation corresponding very closely to the
martyrology
  (q.v.) of the Roman
Church
 . There are two kinds of synaxariasimple synaxaria, which are merely lists of the saints arranged in the order of their anniversaries, e.g. the calendar of Morcelli; and historical synaxaria, which give biographical notices besides, e.g. the menology of Basil and the synaxarium of Sirmond. The notices given in the historical synaxaria are summaries of those in the
great
  menologies, or collections of lives of saints, for the twelve months of the year. The oldest historical synaxaria apparently go back to the tenth
century
 . The heterodox Eastern churches also have their synaxaria.
The publication of the Arabic text of the synaxarium or the Church of
Alexandria
  was started simultaneously by J. Forget in the Corp. script. orient. and by R. Basset in the Patrologia orient., and that of the Ethiopian synaxarium was begun by I.
Guidi
  in the Patrologia orient. The Armenian synaxarium, called thesynaxarium of Ter
Israel
  was published at
Constantinople
  in 1834.
S. A. Morcelli, Kalendarium ecclesiae Constantinopolitanae (Rome, 1788) ; H. Delehaye, " Le Synaxaire de Sirmond," in Analecta bollandiana, xiv. 396-434, where the terminology is explained; idem, Synaxarium ecclesiae Constantinopolitanae e codice Sirmondiano (Brussels, 1902), forming the volume Propylaeum ad acta sanctorum novembris.
