Kievan Chronicle
The ''Kievan Chronicle'' or ''Kyivan Chronicle'' is a chronicle of Kievan Rus'. It was written around 1200 in Vydubychi Monastery as a continuation of the ''Primary Chronicle''. It is known from two manuscripts: a copy in the '' Hypatian Codex'' ( 1425), and a copy in the '' Khlebnikov Codex'' ( 1560s); in both codices, it is sandwiched between the ''Primary Chronicle'' and the '' Galician–Volhynian Chronicle''. 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. Composition When historian Leonid Makhnovets published a modern Ukrainian translation of the entire '' Hypatian Codex'' in 1989, he remarked: 'The history of the creation of this early-14th-century chronicle ompilationis a very complex problem. Equally complex is the question of when and how each part of the chronicle appeared. There is a vast literature on t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Vladimir II Monomakh
Vladimir II Monomakh (; Christian name: ''Vasily''; 26 May 1053 – 19 May 1125) was Grand Prince of Kiev from 1113 to 1125. He is considered a saint in the Eastern Orthodox Church and is celebrated on May 6 (Eastern Orthodox liturgics), May 6.

Regnal List
A regnal list or king list is, at its simplest, a list of successive monarchs. Some regnal lists may give the relationship between successive monarchs (e.g., son, brother), the length of reign of each monarch or annotations on important reigns. The list may be divided into dynasties marked off by headings. As a distinct genre, the regnal list originates in the ancient Near East. Its purpose was not originally chronological. It originally served to demonstrate the antiquity and legitimacy of the monarchy, but it became an important device for structuring historical narratives (as in Herodotus) and thus a chronological aid. In antiquity, regnal lists were kept in Sumer, Egypt, Israel, Assyria and Babylonia. King lists have made it into sacred religious texts, such as the ''Puranas'' and the Hebrew Bible, which contains an Edomite king list. Regnal lists were kept in early medieval Ireland, Pictland and Anglo-Saxon England. The historian David Dumville regarded them as more reliab ...

Nestor The Chronicler
Nestor the Chronicler or Nestor the Hagiographer (; 1056 – 1114) was a monk from the Kievan Rus who is known to have written two saints' lives: the ''Life of the Venerable Theodosius of the Kiev Caves'' and the ''Account about the Life and Martyrdom of the Blessed Passion Bearers Boris and Gleb.'' Traditional historiography has also attributed to him the '' Primary Chronicle'' (PVL), the most revered chronicle of Kievan Rus', which earned him the nickname "the Chronicler". But several modern scholars have concluded he was not the author, because the ''Chronicle'' and known works of Nestor barely align, and frequently contradict each other in terms of style and contents. Given the authorship controversy, some scholars prefer calling him Nestor "the Hagiographer", to be identified with the two hagiographies which they do agree that he did write. Biography In 1073 AD, Nestor was a monk of the Monastery of the Caves in Kiev. The only other detail of his life that is re ...

Laurentian Codex
Laurentian Codex or Laurentian Letopis () is a collection of chronicles that includes the oldest extant version of the ''Primary Chronicle'' and its continuations, mostly relating the events in the northeastern Rus' principalities of Vladimir-Suzdal. Compilation The codex was not just copied by the Nizhegorod monk Laurentius commissioned by Dionysius of Suzdal in 1377. The original text on events from 1284 to 1305 was a lost codex compiled for the Grand Duke Mikhail of Tver in 1305, but Laurentius re-edited the presentation of Yuri Vsevolodovich, the founder of Nizhny Novgorod, from positive into a negative, partly rehabilitating the role of Tatars. Vasily Komarovich (1976) studied traces of changes within the manuscript and established a hypothesis about differences between Laurentius' version and the lost one of the Tver chronicle. Contents The Laurentian Codex compiled several codices of the Vladimir chronicles. * Laurentian text of the ''Primary Chronicle'', which c ...

Suzdalian Chronicle
The ''Suzdalian Chronicle'' (; ), also known as the ''Chronicle of Vladimir-Suzdal'', ''Suzdal–Vladimirian Chronicle'' or ''Laurentian–Radziwiłł–Academic Chronicle'' (''LRAC''), is a Rus' chronicle. It is one of several continuations of the ''Primary Chronicle'' (PVL). In the strictest sense of the term, ''Suzdalian Chronicle'' only means the segment between 1177 and 1203, the preserved source texts of which are very similar in four surviving manuscripts: the ''Laurentian Codex'', the ''Radziwiłł Chronicle'', the ''Academic Chronicle'', and the ''Chronicler of Pereyaslavl-Suzdal'' (LPS). In its broadest sense, the ''Suzdalian Chronicle'' encompasses events from 1111 to 1305, as transmitted in the ''Laurentian Codex'' (the oldest surviving copy, dating from 1377, in columns 289–437). The chronicle is about the late period Kievan Rus', and the Laurentian continuation up to 1305 also includes events of its subsequent Rus' principalities under the early dominion of the Golde ...

Column (typography)
In typography, a column is one or more vertical blocks of content (media), content positioned on a page, separated by gutters (vertical White space (visual arts), whitespace) or rules (thin lines, in this case vertical). Columns are most commonly used to break up large bodies of text that cannot fit in a single block of text on a page. Additionally, columns are used to improve page composition and readability. Newspapers very frequently use complex multi-column layouts to break up different stories and longer bodies of texts within a story. Column can also more generally refer to the vertical delineations created by a typographic grid system which type and image may be positioned. In page layout, the whitespace on the outside of the page (bounding the first and last columns) are known as ''Margin (typography), margins''; the gap between two facing pages is also considered a gutter, since there are columns on both sides. (Any gutter can also be referred to as a margin, but exterior ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Igor Olgovich
Igor II Olgovich (died September 19, 1147) was Prince of Chernigov and Grand Prince of Kiev (1146). He was a son of Oleg I of Chernigov. He was the chosen successor of his brother, Vsevolod II of Kiev. Though his brother had extracted promises of loyalty from his Kievan subjects, Igor and his family, the Olgovichi, were unpopular and there was resistance against his accession. The chroniclers accused Igor of being dishonest, greedy, scheming, and violent. He had reigned less than two weeks before the Kievans invited his cousin and rival, Iziaslav II, to be their prince. Reneging on a promise he had made not to seek power, Iziaslav attacked and defeated Igor and his brother Sviatoslav. Sviatoslav escaped, but Igor got bogged down in some marshes and was unable to flee because of an infirmity in his legs. He was captured, and Iziaslav had him thrown into a pit. He languished in the pit until autumn 1146, when, desperately ill, he requested permission to become a monk. Iziaslav re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tale Of Igor's Campaign
''The Tale of Igor's Campaign'' or ''The Tale of Ihor's Campaign'' () is an anonymous epic poem written in the Old East Slavic language. The title is occasionally translated as ''The Tale of the Campaign of Igor'', ''The Song of Igor's Campaign'', ''The Lay of Igor's Campaign'', ''The Lay of the Host of Igor'', and ''The Lay of the Warfare Waged by Igor''.
