The copy of the Great Euchologion dating from the last quarter of the XVI contains information that , after he became the metropolitan of Kiev in 1509, Joseph II Soltan together with his bishops gave up the practice of preparation of a second lamb for the communion of a newly ordained priest – the practice that was widespread at that time in the Kievan (Lithuanian) metropoly. As the church rules did not mention such a habit, a letter was addressed to Joachim I, the patriarch of Constantinople, asking for an explanation of the matter. In his answer the patriarch explained that one does not prepare two lambs while offering the Divine mysteries, but one as one was Jesus Christ crucified for our salvation. A special part of the lamb though is kept till the suitable moment when it is put on the paten and the newly ordained priest partakes the Holy Gifts with the other priests. Moreover the manuscript contains the text of the three liturgies – that of St John Chrysostom, St Basil the Great, and the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts – the indications how to choose worthy priests and how to ordain priests and deacons, the rite of coronation of a king as well as other texts.
