Here are a few things that may help. Two classic Western liturgists are: - Fr. Adrian Fortescue - Fr. (Joseph?) Jungmann (sp?) I know for a fact that Fortescue has written on the Eastern rites. You might find it useful to consult these two in an attempt to find further sources. The (old) Catholic Encyclopedia has bibliographies in various articles on various liturgies. (If you ever figure out who uses what liturgy in the East, let me know. It's a little complicated. :-) You might also try Joseph Assemani. If I recall correctly, he was a convert to Catholicism from the East, who started investigating his native liturgy, and did some very important work. There are Eastern rites within the Roman Catholic Church. You could try contacting their various seminaries in Rome, or the Congregation in Rome concerned with the various Eastern rite affairs. There are also Eastern rite dioceses in this country that might be able to help. The Byzantine-Ruthenians, for instance, use the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom. You can get addresses from your local chancery office, undoubtedly. Joe Buehler
