	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Melchites (Melkites)
		Melchites are the people of Syria, Palestine, and Egypt who remained faithful to the Council of Chalcedon (451) when the greater part turned Monophysite.
		In 1773 Clement XIV united the few scattered Melchites of Alexandria and Jerusalem to the jurisdiction of the Melchite patriarch of Antioch.
		The head of the Melchite church, under the supreme authority of the pope, is the patriarch.

	The Church of Alexandria
		Hitherto the Melchites, though far less numerous than the Jacobites, had held the civil power, owing to the aid of the Emperor and his officials.
		After the death of the Patriarch Peter (654) the Melchite succession was broken for nearly 80 years, a fact that contributed much to the complete Jacobite control of the patriarchate.
		In the services of the Church the Greek language was soon wholly replaced by the Arabic, and when, in the beginning of the ninth century, the Venetians carried away to their own city the body of St. Mark, the ruinous patriarchate was hardly more that a name.

	The State Hermitage Museum: Exhibitions
		Art of the Melchites and Other Denominations of Eastern Christianity was one of a series of exhibitions showing the cultural heritage of Byzantium, with the objects exhibited classified by confession rather than by provenance.
		The exhibition showed the art of Orthodox Christians, or Melchites, whose spiritual guides were the Patriarchs of Antioch, Jerusalem and Alexandria, and the art of denominations from the Orthodox Church-the Monophisites and Nestorians.
		This period from the fourth to the twentieth centuries was as significant as the geographical scope (covering the art of vast territories from the Nile valleys and Ethiopia to the Turfan oasis in eastern Turkestan and from the Crimea and the Caucasus to the Arabian Desert).

	Alexandrine Liturgy
		The tradition of the Church of Egypt traces its origin to the Evangelist St. Mark, the first Bishop of Alexandria, and ascribes to him the parent liturgy from which all the others used by Melchites, Copts, and by the daughter-Church of Abyssinia are derived.
		A Prothesis (perparation of the oblations before the beginning of the actual liturgy) has been added to it from the Byzantine Liturgy; the Creed is said as at Constantinople just before the Anaphora; the Epiklesis shows signs of the same influence; and the Great entrance is accompanied by a Cherubikon.
		However, it is possible to disengage it from later additions and to reproduce the original Greek Alexandrine Liturgy, the parent rite of all others in Egypt.

	Palmer: Origines Litugicæ, Doc 03
		The patriarchate of Antioch is chiefly inhabited by the Jacobites or Monophysites, and the Melchites or orthodox.
		The Monophysites derive their origin from Eutyches, whose errors were condemned by the council of Chalcedon, A. 451 ; they derive their appellation from their doctrine, for they appear to deny the existence of the human nature of Christ, which they affirm to be absorbed in the divinity, and made one with it.
		The orthodox (termed Melchites or Royalists by their opponents, from their attachment to the emperors of the east) have always adhered to the profession of the catholic faith, and the communion of the patriarch of Constantinople.
