185-686: A very sumptuously printed set of their books, edited by Gladios Labib, published at Cairo ( Katamãrus , 1900–1902; Euchologion , 1904; Funeral Service , 1905). These books were first grouped and arranged for the Coptic Catholic Church by Raphael Tuki, and printed at Rome in the eighteenth century. Their arrangement is obviously an imitation of that of the Latin service-books ( Missale coptice et arabice , 1736; Diurnum alexandrinum copto-arabicum , 1750; Pontificale et Euchologium , 1761, 1762; Rituale coptice et arabice , 1763; Theotokia , 1764).

Various students have published fragments of the Rite in Europe (cf. Chaine, "Grammaire éthiopienne", Beirut, 1907; bibliography, p. 269), but these can hardly be called service-books.
