General Index
This is a concept-based index, designed to facilitate research. Specific instances of most generic
entries (e.g., particular canons, churches, fasts, feasts, foods, and monasteries) are as a general
rule to be found in this index as subheadings under their generic (conceptual) entries. Specific
entries requiring detailed treatment (e.g., patriarchal monasteries) are indexed separately, with
cross-references from the corresponding generic entries. Many generic entries are subdivided,
both for convenience and for greater analytic precision. Thus a reader seeking information on
churches will find a general entry for churches and additional entries for churches (parts of),
churches (specific), churches (types of), and churches and chapels (monastic). A reader seeking
information on monasteries will find a general entry for monasteries and additional entries for
monasteries (parts of), monasteries (specific), and monasteries (types of).
