Правило 68
On penance for those who damage the books of the Holy Scriptures and the Holy Fathers (excommunication for 1 year).
That the books of the Old and New Testaments, of our saints and recognized preachers and teachers, in general, are not allowed for anyone to spoil, or cut, or give to booksellers, or so-called world makers, or anyone else for destruction, unless they are damaged by moth, or water, or something else and have not become completely unusable. From now on, anyone caught doing something similar will be excommunicated for a year; in the same way, the one who buys the said sacred books, if he does not keep them for his own benefit and does not give them to someone else so that he can use them for a good purpose and keep them, but begins to spoil them, let him be excommunicated.
Greek original
Περὶ τοῦ μὴ ἐξεῖναί τινι τῶν ἁπάντων βιβλία τῆς Παλαιᾶς καὶ Καινῆς Διαθήκης, τῶν τε ἁγίων καὶ ἐγκρίτων ἡμῶν κηρύκων καὶ διδασκάλων, διαφθείρειν, ἢ κατατέμνειν, ἢ τοῖς βιβλιοκαπήλοις, ἢ τοῖς λεγομένοις μυρεψοῖς, ἢ ἄλλῳ τινὶ τῶν ἁπάντων πρὸς ἀφανισμὸν ἐκδιδόναι· εἰ μή τι ἄρα τέλεον, εἴτε ὑπὸ σητῶν, ἢ ὕδατος, ἢ ἑτέρῳ τρόπῳ ἀχρειωθῇ. Ὁ δέ τι τοιοῦτο ποιεῖν ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν ἁλισκόμενος, ἐπὶ ἐνιαυτὸν ἀφοριζέσθω. Ὁμοίως καὶ ὁ τὰς τοιαύτας βίβλους ὠνούμενος· εἰ μήτε αὐτὸς ταύτας κατέχει πρὸς οἰκείαν ὠφέλειαν, μήτε ἑτέρῳ πρὸς εὐεργεσίαν καὶ τὸ διανεῖμαι ἀποδοίη, ἀλλὰ ταῦτα διαφθείρειν ἐπιχειρήσοι, ἀφοριζέσθω.
