Quick Summary

The Kanonagirk’ (meaning "Corpus of Canon Law") is recognized as the first collection of church legislation within the Armenian Church. This significant compilation is attributed to John IV of Odzun, who served as the Armenian Orthodox catholicos from 718 until his death in 729. John IV was a respected theologian and jurist known for his efforts to secure greater autonomy for the Armenian Church and his support for orthodox Christological theology. He convened synods to reform the church's liturgy and pastoral discipline, aiming to reconcile Armenian theological traditions with established orthodox definitions.1
