About the Translators

Julius Joseph Overbeck (1820–1905) was a Roman Catholic priest who later converted to Eastern Orthodoxy, helping pioneer the modern emergence of a Western-Rite Orthodox tradition. He was author of Catholic Orthodoxy and Anglo-Catholicism, as well as editor/publisher of The Orthodox Catholic Review, a journal on Orthodox Christianity from the Western-Rite perspective.

J.N.W.B. Robertson, a scholar of the Church of England, published an English translation of the Orthodox Divine Liturgies.

R. Raikes Bromage (1853–1922), born and educated in England, served as both a deacon and a priest in the Church of England, and eventually converted to Roman Catholicism in 1895. He also served as secretary and treasurer for the Catholic Education Board.
