The Volyn Short Chronicle (Ukrainian: Воли́нський коро́ткий літо́пис, romanized: Volynsjkyj korotkyj litopys) is the conventional name of a chronicle that is part of the Suprasl Chronicle of the early 16th century, found in the Supraśl Orthodox Monastery (Supraśl, now Białystok County in Poland). It is currently kept in the Russian State Archive of Ancient Acts (РГАДА/RGADA) in Moscow (ф. 181, оп. 1, № 21, 26).

Contents

The Volyn Short Chronicle has 74 folios (leaves, sheets). Mikałaj Ułaščyk (1975, 1980) divided the chronicle into three parts:

  • The first part, from л. 1 to л. 67 об., is titled "The origin of the Rus' princes of the Rus' principality." It starts from 862, and ends with the marriage of Alexander of Lithuania and Helena of Moscow (15 February 1495). It is a brief description of events in the lands of Kievan Rus', and what the chronicler deemed the most important events of the past of other states.
  • The second part, from л. 67 об. to л. 71, contains news items that are almost entirely related to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Volhynia (Volyn), in particular the struggle with the Tatars of the Horde in 1495–1515. The last entry in this part is the siege and capture of Smolensk by the Muscovite troops of Vasily Ivanovich.
  • The third and last part, from л. 72 to л. 74 об., is devoted to a glorification of Konstantin Ivanovich Ostrozhsky, grand hetman of Lithuania (1497–1530). After that, л. 74 об. ends with a record of the visit of grand duke Sigismund II Augustus of Lithuania to the Suprasl Monastery in 1544.

When Mikhail Andreevich Obolensky first published the text of the chronicle in 1836, he called it the "Abridged Kievan Chronicle". But because the parts of the text that provide unique, original materials are entirely devoted to Volyn, subsequent scholars have renamed it Volyn Short Chronicle instead.

Composition

According to Mytsyk (2003), the chronicle was probably created by a priest of the cathedral in Volodymyr in Volyn, who was close to bishop Vassian of Volodymyr. The author's interests remain squarely focused on what happened in Volhynia and Podolia. In the second part, the events of 1495 to 1497 stand out: the author used both his own impressions and the testimony of other eyewitnesses to write about the 1495 election of Macarius Chort [ru; uk] as metropolitan of Kiev, Galicia and all Rus', and his subsequent death at the hands of the Tatars in 1497. The praise to Ostrozhsky in the third part would not have been added until after his victory over the Muscovite troops in the Battle of Orsha (1514).
