thumb|[[Saint Petersburg, Library of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 34.5.30, fol. 68]]The Radziwiłł Chronicle, also known as the Königsberg Chronicle, is a 15th-century collection of illuminated manuscripts, believed to be a copy of a 13th-century original. Its name derives from the Radziwiłł family of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (later the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth), who kept the manuscript in their Nesvizh Castle during the 17th and 18th centuries. The Radziwiłł manuscript was removed from Königsberg in 1761 and acquired by the Library of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Saint Petersburg, where it is currently preserved under the registration number 34.5.30. The chronicle recounts the history of Kievan Rus' and its neighbours from the 5th century to the early 13th century in pictorial form, illustrating the narrative with more than 600 colour miniatures. Among East Slavic chronicles, the Radziwiłł Chronicle is distinguished by the richness and quantity of its illustrations, which may ultimately derive from the 13th-century prototype.
Contents
The Radziwiłł Chronicle (Rad.) has the following textual structure:
- a copy of the Primary Chronicle (Povest' vremmenykh let (PVL), "Tale of Bygone Years") until the year 1116, the text of which groups it with the Laurentian Codex (Lav.), the Academic Chronicle (Aka.), and the remnants of the lost Trinity Chronicle (Tro.);
- a text similar to the Kievan Chronicle from 1118 to the mid-1170s, also known as the "southern Rus' source" (sometimes considered part of the Suzdalian Chronicle in the broadest sense);
- a copy of the Suzdalian Chronicle from the mid-1170s to 1203, the text of which has been very similarly preserved in the Laurentian Codex (Lav.), the Academic Chronicle (Aka.), and the Chronicler of Pereyaslavl-Suzdal (LPS); and
- a continuation from 1203 until the year 1206; a virtually identical continuation for 1203–1206 has preserved in the Academic Chronicle (Aka.). This text is based on records of the city of Vladimir on the Klyazma.
