Summary/Abstract: The nineteenth century was an era of dynamic cultural, social, and economic advancement. During this period, numerous literary models were created, which later became monuments of lasting value. An interesting monument from this period is the Razlog manuscript. It is a legal monument from the second half of the 19th century, containing civil and ecclesiastical laws, which is why it is called the "late Nomocanon". The manuscript provides us with valuable information about the life of Bulgarians in southwestern Bulgaria, both in legal, linguistic and socio-cultural terms. It also served as a guide for clergy in fulfilling their moral and social duties to the people. It contains the basic norms of behaviour of the period under consideration, and from it can be gleaned information from jurisprudence, history, folklore, linguistics, ethnography, etc. This gives us reason to call it the ethical code of the Razlog region.
