Summary/Abstract: The Mileševa transcript of the Nomocanon of Saint Sava originated in the XVI century in the Principality of Wallachia and is kept in the National library in Bucharest. This transcript bears witness that the aforementioned Principality and also the Church were being governed by this Nomocanon which was a transcript of the older Mileševa transcript. The Morača transcript of the Nomocanon of Saint Sava is considered to be the most complete and was transcribed in the Morača monastery in 1613, using the Teophile transcription from 1252. Both are written on parchment. The authors analyze the relation between these two transcripts after directly inspecting them and comparing them with analyses of said transcripts, which were conducted in the middle of the XIX and XX centuries by leading researchers of these transcripts, archimandrite N. Dučić and Sergije Viktorovič Troicki. The authors also illustrate this paper by displaying parts of the mentioned transcripts and showing to the wider academic and professional audience their unpublished parts.
