English: Full PDF file of the (Moscow) Academic Chronicle (Aka.), a manuscript collection from the late 15th century (close to the year 1500). It contains copies of the Primary Chronicle (PVL), the Suzdalian Chronicle (until 1203), the "Radziwiłł Chronicle continuation" of the Suzdalian Chronicle (years 1203–1206), a portion of the Sofia First Chronicle (SPL) for the years 1206–1237, and a Rostov collection for the years 1238–1418. The text is written in the Old East Slavic recension of Church Slavonic, and displays linguistic features, provenance, and topical focus from northeastern Rus', historiographically known as Vladimir-Suzdal or Suzdalia. The Moscow Academic Chronicle is named after the Moscow Theological Academy, as it was preserved there for a time before being transferred to the Russian State Library in Moscow, where it is currently preserved under manuscript ID Ф.173/I №236. Although it contains no miniatures illustrating its narrative, the Moscow Academic Chronicle is textually most closely related to the Radziwiłł Chronicle alias the Königsberg Manuscript (see File:Радзивіллівський літопис.pdf) until 1206, as well as the Laurentian Codex (see File:Лаврентіївський літопис.pdf) until 1203. It is more distantly to the Hypatian Codex (see File:Hypatian Codex.pdf) and Khlebnikov Codex (see File:Khlebnikov Codex.pdf), which, however, from the mid-12th century focus more on events in southern Rus' (modern-day Ukraine) and eventually southwestern Rus' (Galicia–Volhynia), concluding events in 1291–2.
