Academic Chronicle
The Academic Chronicle or Moscow Academic Chronicle (), sometimes also known as Suzdal' Chronicle () is a late 15th-century compilation of Rus' chronicles. The chronicle was probably compiled in Rostov based on the ''Primary Chronicle'' (PVL), '' Radziwiłł Chronicle'' (events before 1206), ''Sofia First Chronicle'' (events 1205–1238), and a Rostov collection (events 1238–1418). The chronicle was published in full in the Complete Collection of Russian Chronicles in 1927. The only surviving original was for some time kept in the Moscow Theological Academy (which gave rise to its name "(Moscow) Academic Chronicle"), and is currently preserved in the Russian State Library (manuscript ID: Ф.173/I №236). It is an important source for the history of Kievan Rus' and late medieval Russia, which in the early 21st century was being discussed for its importance for early Russian literature.

Laurentian Codex
Laurentian Codex or Laurentian Letopis () is a collection of chronicles that includes the oldest extant version of the ''Primary Chronicle'' and its continuations, mostly relating the events in the northeastern Rus' principalities of Vladimir-Suzdal. Compilation The codex was not just copied by the Nizhegorod monk Laurentius commissioned by Dionysius of Suzdal in 1377. The original text on events from 1284 to 1305 was a lost codex compiled for the Grand Duke Mikhail of Tver in 1305, but Laurentius re-edited the presentation of Yuri Vsevolodovich, the founder of Nizhny Novgorod, from positive into a negative, partly rehabilitating the role of Tatars. Vasily Komarovich (1976) studied traces of changes within the manuscript and established a hypothesis about differences between Laurentius' version and the lost one of the Tver chronicle.
