Summary/Abstract: Manuscript No. 1160 (XIV c.) from Church-Historical and Archival Institute by the St. Synod of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church in Sofia contains the text of the Slavic penitential nomocanon – rules for church-legal regulation of the behavior of Orthodox Christians derived from Scripture, from the apostolic and the Church Fathers rules, from the rules of the Church Councils. It is believed without necessarily having a direct and clear evidence that on ff. 165a-181b in the manuscript contained a corpus of rules whose alleged author was Patriarch Basil (1186 – 1232) himself. The translation of the rules is carried out from an independently established text of the facsimile edition of the monument. Until now, they have not been translated from Old Bulgarian language to Modern Bulgarian language.
