The Complete Collection of Russian Chronicles or Complete Collection of Rus' Chronicles[1][2][3] (Russian: Полное собрание русских летописей, romanized: Polnoe sobranie russkikh letopisei[4][5], abbreviated PSRL[4][5]) is a series of critical editions of all medieval and early modern Rus' chronicles, published for the purpose of textual criticism (also known as "textology"). Dozens of volumes have been published in Imperial Russia, the Soviet Union, and the Russian Federation. The project is ongoing and far from finished.[citation needed]
Development
[edit | edit source]The chronicles were assembled by the Archaeographic Expedition of the Russian Academy of Sciences (starting in 1828). They were prepared for publication by the Archaeographic Commission, established in 1834 as part of the Ministry of National Enlightenment. The first volumes were published by a publisher "Typography of Edward Prats". The commission was charged to publish the collection on 18 February 1837.[citation needed]
The first ten volumes appeared between 1841 and 1863. New volumes have been brought forth piecemeal throughout the 20th and early 21st centuries. Some of the older volumes have also been reprinted, especially after 1997.[citation needed] The PSRL has set the standard for modern critical editions of Rus' chronicles.[2]
In 1977, Ludolf Müller discovered that thousands of textual variants in the Radziwiłł Chronicle and Academic Chronicle were not reported, or reported incorrectly, in Volume 1 of the PSRL.[6]
