The Kievan Chronicle or Kyivan Chronicle[a] is a chronicle of Kievan Rus'. It was written around 1200 in Vydubychi Monastery as a continuation of the Primary Chronicle.[1] It is known from two manuscripts: a copy in the Hypatian Codex (c. 1425), and a copy in the Khlebnikov Codex (c. 1575); in both codices, it is sandwiched between the Primary Chronicle and the Galician–Volhynian Chronicle.[2][3] It covers the period from 1118, where the Primary Chronicle ends, until about 1200, although scholars disagree where exactly the Kievan Chronicle ends and the Galician–Volhynian Chronicle begins.[b]
