"The Tale of Bygone Years (Povest' vremennykh let)" is the most
important source for the history of early Rus'. Full of stories of
grand princes and saints, monks, and knightly retinues, this
chronicle compilation has been the bedrock of modern
interpretations of the history, ethos, and religious traditions of
Ukrainians, Russians, and Belarusians alike. It also has been a
source of controversy, with competing redactions and
interpretations of the Old East Slavic language in which it was
written. This massive undertaking provides scholars and general
readers with the first fully legible text that includes all of the
known redactions of the "Povest'." The text consists of an
intercollation of the five oldest redactions, three more modern
redactions, three later interpolations, and Ostrowski's own final
interpretation. The intercollated texts are nested line-by-line.
This three-part set will be of fundamental importance to Slavic
philologists and historians of early Rus'.
