Nikon Chronicle

In the 18th century, it was published under the name The Russian Chronicle According to Nikon's Manuscript.

[1] The chronicle contains a large number of claims not found in earlier sources.

Some of these interpolations are thought to reflect a political ideology of the nascent Tsardom of Russia.

The Academic copy of the Nikon Chronicle is currently being preserved in the Library of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Saint Petersburg, with registration number "32.14.8".

[2] The Library acquired it in 1741 from the personal collection of Theophan Prokopovich, bishop of Moscow.
