Rus' chronicles

Manuscript Compiled Contents Notes
Synod Scroll (Sinodal'nyy)[1] 13th–14th century[1] Novgorod First Chronicle ("NPL")[2] Contains the Nachal'nyy svod, a version of events up till the early 1090s, predating the Primary Chronicle.[3] The Novgorod Republic had no permanent dynastic affiliation until around 1200, and the NPL seems not to be biased in favour of any particular princely dynasty.[1]
Commission Scroll (Komissionnyy)[1] 15th century[1] Novgorod First Chronicle ("NPL")[2] Contains the Nachal'nyy svod, a version of events up till the early 1090s, predating the Primary Chronicle.[3] The Novgorod Republic had no permanent dynastic affiliation until around 1200, and the NPL seems not to be biased in favour of any particular princely dynasty.[1] Appendix: List of Russian Cities, Far and Near.
Laurentian Codex ("Lav.",[1][4] "L"[5]) 1377[1][5] Primary Chronicle
or Tale of Bygone Years ("PVL");[1] various other chronicles[1]
This oldest version[6] of the Primary Chronicle (originally written c.1030s – c.1113;[7]) goes up to the year 1116.[1] The other chronicles in this codex were written or redacted in Vladimir on the Kliazma until 1212, in Rostov until 1305.[1] They are the main source for the history of Vladimir-Suzdal (Suzdalia), but are biased in favour of the princes of Suzdalia.[1]
Hypatian Codex ("Ipat."[8], "Ipa"[4], "H"[5]) c. 1425[9][5] Primary Chronicle
or Tale of Bygone Years ("PVL");[8]
Kyivan Chronicle;[8]
Galician–Volhynian Chronicle[8]
The Hypatian Codex mainly provides information on southern Rus' domains, and favoures the princes of the Kievan region.[8] This Primary Chronicle copy goes up to the year 1117.[8] It begins its list of knyazi of Kiev with "Dir and Askold", then "Oleg", then "Igor", up to 1240, and does not mention "Rurik" as the dynasty's founder anywhere, despite praising Rurik Rostislavich.[9] The Hypatian Codex contains the only known copy of the Kyivan Chronicle, a svod written in Kiev for the years 1118–1199 around the year 1200[8] or later in the 13th century,[6] commissioned by Rurik Rostislavich as a continuation of the Primary Chronicle.[8] The last part contains the oldest-known copy of the Galician–Volhynian Chronicle, covering the years 1200–1292,[8] written in the 13th century.[6]
Königsberg Manuscript
(or Radziwiłł Chronicle, "Rad"[4], "R"[5])
15th century[5] Primary Chronicle
or Tale of Bygone Years ("PVL");[citation needed]
Radziwiłł Chronicle ("Rad"[4])
The Königsberg Manuscript[10] or Codex (believed to be a copy of a 13th-century original) includes a copy of the Primary Chronicle up to 1116,[11] a copy of the 1177–1193 Chronicle of Vladimir–Suzdal,[11] and provides a continuation up to the year 1206, based on records of the city of Vladimir on the Klyazma.[10]
Academic Manuscript ("Aka",[4] "A"[5]) late[citation needed] 15th century[5] Primary Chronicle
or Tale of Bygone Years ("PVL");[5]
Radziwiłł Chronicle ("Rad"[4])
Moscow Academic Chronicle
The (Moscow) Academic Manuscript (Russian: Московско-Академический список) contains the same text as the Königsberg Manuscript, but adds the (Moscow) Academic Chronicle (Russian: Московско-Академическая летопись; also known as the Suzdal' Chronicle), which continues the Radziwiłł Chronicle from 1206 up to the year 1418/9, with the text covering 1207–1237 being identical to that found in the Sofia First Chronicle.[citation needed]
Bychowiec Manuscript ("Byc"[4]) 16th century (written;[12]
lost 1840s
[13])
1846 (printed)[13]
Bychowiec Chronicle
or Bykhovets Chronicle
The original 159-page "Bychowiec manuscript" (written in the 16th century,[12] discovered by Aleksander Bychowiec in 1830) was lost shortly after Teodor Narbutt published its text in 1846 under the title Pomniki do dziejów litewskich.[13] Lithuanian historians discovered another fragment of the Bychowiec Chronicle (about one-fifth of the original) at the National Archives in Kraków [pl] in 2011, and published it in 2018.[14] The Bychowiec Chronicle is one of the 14th–16th-century (Belarusian-)Lithuanian Chronicles.[12]
