History
The Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts was first documented by Gregory Dialogos (540–604), who had been the papal legate to Constantinople. At one time it was supposed that he had composed the Liturgy himself, but now it is generally supposed that he simply recorded what was otherwise being practiced at Constantinople. In the Presanctified Liturgy itself, he is still commemorated as its traditional author.
This Liturgy is also mentioned in the Canons of the Quinisext Council, of 692 AD:
On all days of the holy fast of Lent, except on the Sabbath , the Lord's Day , and the holy day of the Annunciation, the Liturgy of the Presanctified is to be served (Canon 52).
