[1] The LPS has two parts: a significantly abridged version of the Primary Chronicle (PVL) with many omissions, and a continuous narrative from 1137/8 to 1214 focused on events in Vladimir-Suzdal.
The Primary Chronicle (PVL) section of the LPS (l. 481 – l. 508ob; 55 pages instead of 286) is significantly abridged, and has numerous omissions and errors.
[5] Almost exclusively, events mentioning either directly the great Vladimir-Suzdal princes or other representatives of the ruling Suzdalian clan, are included.
However, the source contains virtually no information about the western principalities of Galicia (Halych) and Volhynia (Volyn'; in 1199 united as Galicia–Volhynia).
[5] Obolensky believed that the part of the collection preceding the Chronicler and the text itself go back to the Chronographic Codex of the 1360s.
[11][12][13] The chronicler of Pereyaslavl Suzdal occupies a special place as a source on the history of the Vladimir-Suzdal war of succession of the sons of Vsevolod Yurievich "the Big Nest" in the years 1212–1213.
