“THE CHRONICLER NOVGORODSKOY IN BRIEF, FOR LORD’S CHURCHES” AS THE SOURCE OF GREAT NOVGOROD CHURCH HISTORY OF THE 10–12TH CENTURIES
“The Book, Told Chronicler Novgorodskoy in Brief, for Lord’s Churches” is imprecisely called “The Novgorodsky third chronicle” in scientific literature. It is the monument to the Great Novgorod annalistic tradition of the 12th century. This source contains unique information and reflects spiritual life of the town the most deeply in comparison with other Novgorod annalistic monuments. In this research we make an attempt to give the general characteristic to the chronicle (code lists, text publication, time, place and circumstances of creation) and to examine The Chronicler as the source of Novgorod episcopacy history in the period of its formation (10–12th centuries).
