Introduction. “Detailed Chronicle from the beginning of Russia to the Battle of Poltava” is a large-scale compilation that sets out the history of Russia from the historiographic positions of the middle of the 18th century. This monument was published at the end of the 18th century, but still does not have a scientific publication, and its manuscript tradition has not been sufficiently studied. Methods and materials. In this paper, a previouslyunknown manuscript of the “Detailed Chronicle” from the collections of the Department of Manuscripts of the National Library of Russia is introduced into scientific circulation. Analysis. A study of the text of the “Detailed Chronicle” according to this list reveals that we have before us a new type of monument, outlining the events of Russian history before 1700. List from the collection of Prince P.P. Vyazemsky contains an indication of one of the main sources of the “Detailed Chronicle”, which researchers ignore - “Moscow History” by Gottlieb Samuil Treyer. The work covered the period of Russian history from the 1460s to 1617. G.S. Treyer was written on the basis of the achievements of historiography at the beginning of the 18th century. using the methods of scientific criticism of sources. The author compared, critically comprehended the works of foreign authors about Russia, while preference was given to the news of those authors “who lived in the city of Moscow and saw Russian notebooks.” Treyer’s history, published in Germany in 1720, was translated into Russian only in 1741. Results. In our opinion, it was the translation of Treyer’s work that became the catalyst for the creation of the “Detailed Chronicle” in 1744. “The Moscow History” by G.S. Treyer became the basis for the first part of the compilation, outlining the history of Russia up to 1617.
