Nomocanon (, Nomokanōn; from the Greek ''nomos'' - law and ''kanon'' - a rule) is a collection of Ecclesiastical law, consisting of the elements from both the Civil law and the Canon law. ==Byzantine nomocanons== Collections of this kind were found only in Eastern law. The Greek Church has two principal nomocanonical collections. The first nomocanon, in the sixth century, is ascribed, though without certainty, to John Scholasticus, whose canons it utilizes and completes. He had drawn up (about 550) a purely canonical compilation in 50 titles, and later composed an extract from the Justinian's Novellae in 87 chapters〔For the canonical collection see Voellus and Henri Justel, "Bibliotheca juris canonici", Paris, 1661, II, 449 sqq.; for the 87 chapters, Pitra, "Juris ecclesiastici Græcorum historia et monumenta", Rome, 1864, II, 385)〕 that relate the ecclesiastical matters. To each of the 50 titles was added the texts of the imperial laws on the same subject, with 21 additional chapters, nearly all borrowed from John's 87 chapters.〔Voellus and Justellus, op. cit., II, 603.〕 Thus the Nomocanon of John Scholasticus was made. The second nomocanon dates from the reign of the Byzantine Emperor Heraclius (610–641), at which time Latin was replaced by Greek as the official language of the imperial laws. It was made by fusion of Collectio tripartita (collection of Justinian's imperial law) and Canonic syntagma (ecclesiastical canons). Afterwards, this collection would be known as Nomocanon in 14 titles. This nomocanon was long held in esteem and passed into the Russian Church, but it was by degrees supplanted by Nomocanon of Photios in 883. Basically it was Nomocanon in 14 titles with the addition of 102 canons of Trullan Council (see Canon law), 17 canons of the Photian synod of 861 (against Ignatius), and three canons substituted by Photios for those of the Council of Constantinople in 869. Nomocanon in 14 titles was completed with the more recent imperial laws. This whole collection was commentated about 1170 by Theodore Balsamon,〔Nomocanon with Balsamon's commentary in Voellus and Justellus, II, 815; P. G., CIV, 441.〕 Greek Patriarch of Antioch residing at Constantinople. Nomocanon of Photios was supplemented by this commentary and became Pedalion ( - rudder), a sort of Corpus Juris of the Orthodox Church, printed in 1800 by Patriarch Neophytos VII. Nomocanon of Photios retained in the law of the Greek Church and it was included in Syntagma, published by Rallis and Potlis (Athens, 1852–1859). Even though called Syntagma, the collection of ecclesiastical law of Matthew Blastares in 1335) is the real nomocanon, in which the texts of the laws and the canons are arranged in alphabetical order.〔P. G., loc. cit.; Beveridge, "Synodicon", Oxford, 1672.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nomocanon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
