The Academic Chronicle or Moscow Academic Chronicle (Russian: Московско-Академическая летопись, romanized: Moskovskaya akademicheskaya letopis'), sometimes also known as Suzdal' Chronicle (Russian: Суздальская летопись, romanized: Suzdal'skaya letopis')[a] is a late 15th-century compilation of Rus' chronicles. The chronicle was probably compiled in Rostov based on the Primary Chronicle (PVL), Radziwiłł Chronicle (events before 1206), Sofia First Chronicle (events 1205–1238), and a Rostov collection (events 1238–1418).[2] The chronicle was published in full in the Complete Collection of Russian Chronicles in 1927. The only surviving original was for some time kept in the Moscow Theological Academy (which gave rise to its name "(Moscow) Academic Chronicle"), and is currently preserved in the Russian State Library (manuscript ID: Ф.173/I №236).[2] It is an important source for the history of Kievan Rus' and late medieval Russia, which in the early 21st century was being discussed for its importance for early Russian literature.[3]
