This edition was translated into English from the Syriac by James Cooper and Arthur John Maclean.

It is not authoritative in the sense of having been issued by those who had public authority given them in the Church to do so. It did not succeed by its own merit in obtaining such acceptance as was won by the Great Liturgies. It became influential in the process which led to the formation of the Ethiopic and Coptic service books. It is coloured, no doubt, by private idiosyncracies of its unknown authors. It had a message to its own time as well as to the present time. It professes to give the words of our Lord Himself as he spoke to the disciples after his ascension.

This edition was published by T. and T. Clark in 1902.
