In ca. 1307, three Old Rus' chronicles--the Povest' vremennykh let ( Tale of Bygone Years , covering the years 872-1117), Kievan Chronicle (for the years 1119-1199), and the Galician-Volhynian Chronicle (for the years 1205-1289)--were joined together. These three component parts have come down to us only in the form of a compilation (datable to ca. 1425) which scholars have named the Hypatian Chronicle . Of the five extant witnesses of the Hypatian Chronicle , the so-called Xlebnikov codex occupies a special place. It was most probably copied in Volhynia during the second half of the sixteenth century for Prince Kostjantyn Ostroz'kyj. The so-called Pogodin codex, closely related to the Xlebnikov, was copied in 1621 in Zyvotiv for Prince Stefan Svjatopolk-Cetvertyns'kyj. Both the Ostroz'kyj and Cetvertyns'kyj codices appear here for the first time in facsimile. Until now they have been known only from footnotes to editions of the Hypatian Chronicle .
