Book containing parts of the daily offices. The name (Syr. ktābā da-qdām wad-bāthar ‘book of before and after’) comes from one section of the book which gives the šuraye (variable Psalms) before and after Ps. 140 at the evening service (ramšā). In alternate weeks, one or the other of the two choirs begins the service. Thus the weeks are also styled weeks ‘before’ and weeks ‘after’. In spite of its practical importance, mss. of the Qdām w-Bāthar were always rare. It was first edited in print by P. Bedjan as part of the Breviarium Chaldaicum (Paris 1886), 341*–398*. The Ch. of E. uses a Mosul edition of 1923 (reprinting that of Urmia 1892) or the printed Ḥudrā (pp. 1–110 of each volume). The editions vary in content.
包含日课部分内容的书籍。该名称（叙利亚语 (Syr.) ktābā da-qdām wad-bāthar，意为“前后书”）源于该书的一个部分，即在晚祷 (ramšā) 中诗篇 (Ps.) 140 篇前后诵读的变体诗篇 (šuraye)。在交替的周次中，两个唱诗班中的一个开始礼拜。因此，这些周次也被称为“前”周和“后”周。尽管其实用重要性显著，但《前后书》(Qdām w-Bāthar) 的手稿 (mss.) 一直十分稀有。该书首次由贝德让 (P. Bedjan) 编辑出版，收录于《迦勒底日课经》(Breviarium Chaldaicum) (Paris 1886), 341*–398*. 中。东方教会 (Ch. of E.) 使用 1923 年摩苏尔 (Mosul) 版（重印 1892 年乌尔米耶 (Urmia) 版）或印刷版《循环经》(Ḥudrā) (pp. 1–110 of each volume)。各版本内容各异。
