Summary/Abstract: In this article two combined canons devoted to the Dormition of Our Lady in the Codex of the State Historical Museum (Moskow), coll. A. I. Khludov, No 164 are examined. The first one, of the fourth mode, includes the troparia from two canons – of John of Damascus and Clement of Ochrid, the second one, of the first mode, consists of the troparia from three canons at least – of Andrew of Grete, Kosmas the Monk and an unknown author. So the principles of troparia combination were scrutinised and their main peculiarites, difference and similarity for each canon were determined. The text of these combined canons published at the end of the article permits both to see them visually and to check up the conclusions drawn by the author.
