The Concise Collection of Synodical Canons

This volume contains a 20th century manuscript copy of the "Concise Collection of Synodical Canons" composed by Mar Audisho Bar Brikha, Metropolitan of Nisibis and Armenia who died in 1318 A.D. This book is significant in that Mar Audisho has created a collection of laws conveniently grouped into topics for easy reference. His sources are declared to be the canons defined and adopted by the synods of the East and the West. In the Synod of Patriarch Mar Timateos II in 1318 A.D., this book was recognized as an authoritative collection of laws for the Church of the East.
