I would have to do some serious digging to get to the bottom of that one. I suspect there was a different numbering system used, or a differently numbered set. The canon being referred to is the 96th. But herein you have to remember that canons were not read in isolation, but in large collections (the Rudder, or Kormchaya), and canons were always printed and read/understood with their commentaries. So, for the 96th canon of the Sixth Ecumenical Council, see Zonaras' commentary to see how the canon was interpreted and applied. Zonar was quite emphatic.
Its my pleasure! I don't have anything in English. But here is the whole shebang in Russian, which works well enough with auto-translate, and includes the the Zonar, Aristen, and Valsamon commentaries. It may not be any different from what you have...
In Chapter 40, against the shaving of beards, it quotes from the 11th “rule” of the “Sixth Ecumenical Council held in Trullo”. Assuming “rule” is equated to “canon”, Canon 11 of the Quinisext Council does not mention anything about shaving. Am I missing something (forgive me if so) or is Stoglav misquoting a council?

Would you happen to have any sourses for the Kormchaya? (English/Russian...) And sources for Zonaras commentaries?
I have found a PDF for The Rudder, with commentaries and such... Though maybe you know a better one? (One I have is by Nicodemus) [WordPress]
Thank you in advance, you have always been a great help! Forgive me for taking to much of your time!

Thank you so much for these few chapters of Stoglav. I see what you mean when you said the council is quite extensive
