The Hypatian Chronicle

The southern record. The Kievan Chronicle ends in 1200 with Abbot Moses's praise of Rurik Rostislavich of Kiev for the wall he built at Vydubichi, and just before it describes Roman Mstislavich's seizure of Galich in 1199, the Olgovichi of Chernigov, the Polovtsian steppe and the princes of Volhynia. The Galician-Volhynian Chronicle then opens with a eulogy of Roman. For 1 January 1200 it is the source for Rurik in Kiev, Roman in Galicia and Volhynia and the Chernigov line.
