The Armenian written tradition preserved the text of the translation of the Byzantine canonical collection – Nomocanon’s 14 titles. Perhaps the collection has been translated by the Chalcedonian Armenians, whose literary activities have not been studied enough in Armenian studies.

This canonical collection has been saved in a single manuscript found at the Mechitarist Fathers' library in Venice. The article gives a brief history of the study of this monument, and summarizes the content and significance of the collection for Byzantine studies and armenology.
