Lvov Chronicle (16th century)

[2] The chronicle was first published in Saint Petersburg in 1792 by Nikolay Aleksandrovich Lvov, from whom it takes its name, with a number of omissions.

[2] He gave it the title Chronicler of Rus' from the accession of Rurik to the death of Tsar John Vasilyevich (Russian: Лѣтописецъ Руской отъ пришествія Рурика до кончины Царя Іоанна Васильевича;[2] the latter is better known as Ivan the Terrible).

Lvov based himself on a manuscript from the Monastery of Saint Euthymius in Suzdal, which was subsequently lost.

Thus, the latter has preserved some information, presumably dating back to the 1480s and lost in the Sofia Second Chronicle: information about the murder of Dmitry Shemyaka, carried out at the behest of Vasily II the Dark; the full text of the story of the Muscovite defeat of Novgorod in 1471 and others.

This part is close to the text of the Ermolin Chronicle, coinciding with it in all the differences that the latter has here in relation to its source: a special processing of the hypothetical Novgorodsko-Sofiysky Svod, reflected also in the 1479 Grand Princely Codex of Moscow.
