The study was based on the Novgorod copy of the early Russian redaction of 1282 in comparison with the Efremovskaya (12th century), Ilovitskaya (1262) and Ryazanskaya (1284) copies of the Kormchaya. It is noted that the original used by the compilers of the Russian Kormchaya differed from the named copies.
