The Novgorod First Chronicle (Russian: Новгоро́дская пе́рвая ле́топись, tr. Novgoródskaya pérvaya létopisʹ, IPA:[nəvɡɐˈrot͡skəjəˈpʲervəjəˈlʲetəpʲɪsʲ],[1] commonly abbreviated as NPL[1]) or The Chronicle of Novgorod, 1016–1471[2] is the oldest extant Rus' chronicle of the Novgorod Republic. Written in Old East Slavic, it reflects a literary tradition about Kievan Rus' which differs from the Primary Chronicle. The later editions of the chronicle reflect the lost Primary Kievan Code (Russian: Нача́льный Ки́евский свод) of the late 11th century, which contained information not present in the later Primary Chronicle.[3]
The earliest extant copy of the NPL is the so-called Synod Scroll (Sinodálʹnyy),[4] dated to the second half of the 13th century. First printed in 1841, it is currently preserved in the State Historical Museum. It is the earliest known manuscript of a major Old East Slavic chronicle, predating the Laurentian Codex of the Primary Chronicle by almost a century.[5] In the 14th century, the Synod Scroll was continued by the monks of the Yuriev Monastery in Novgorod.[6] Other important copies of the Novgorod First Chronicle include the Academic Scroll (Akademícheskiy) and Commission Scroll (Komissiónnyy)[4]), both dating to the 1440s,[5] and the Tolstoi (Tolstóvoi) copy. This "Younger Redaction"[a] contains entries from the year 854 up to 1447.[1]
