Abstract: In 2008, Robert Taft published an article trying to prove the Constantinopolitan provenance of the Mystagogy of Maximus the Confessor which countered the skepticism of the academic community. The discovery in the Liber asceticus (contemporaneous with the Mystagogy) of three quotations of prayers from the Liturgy known as the Liturgy of St. James weakens the arguments brought by Taft. This article further analyses several passages in the Mystagogy that point toward attributing Maximus’ Commentary to the liturgical tradition of the Jerusalem Patriarchate.
