Laurentian Codex

Laurentian Codex

Laurentian Codex ( _ru. Лаврентьевский список, Лаврентьевская летопись) is a collection of chronicles that includes the oldest extant version of the "Primary Chronicle" and its continuations, mostly relating the events in the Northern Russia (Vladimir-Suzdal).

The codex was copied by the Nizhegorod monk Laurentius for the Prince Dmitry Konstantinovich in 1377. The original text he used was a lost codex compiled for the Grand Duke Mikhail of Tver in 1305. The account continues until 1305, but the years 898-922, 1263-83 and 1288-94 are for some reason omitted. The manuscript was acquired by the famous Count Musin-Pushkin in 1792 and subsequently presented to the Russian National Library in St Petersburg.
