The Typicon(s)
The Book of the Typikon (of the Great Church), Containing all the Rubrics and Ordinances of the various Divine Services of the Holy Orthodox Church. Translated from the Arabic by Bishop Demetri M. Khoury. Edited by Archpriest John W. Morris. Miami, October, 2011 [PDF]
The Cycle of Services and the Church Calendar
(include discussion of aggregates)
The Divine Services are generally divided into three groupings or "aggregates", according to the example set forth in the Psalter (Ps. 54, Septuagint): "Evening, morning, and noonday will I tell of it and will declare it, and He will hear my voice."
