Format:
Non digital + Digital, reformatted digital
Script:
Half-uncial, transitional half-uncial/cursive, cursive (with distinctive features of the so called Moscow-cursive, in use during the 17th century). Handwriting and ink vary throughout the manuscript.
Collation:
Collation is disturbed and uncertain; 59 quires numbered with cyrillic numerals: I: 8 (ff. ii-12); IV-XXXXVIII: 8 (ff. 13-371); LIX: 8 (ff. 372-379); LX; 7 (ff. 380-386, 3rd leaf is missing but without text lacunae); LXI-LXXI: 8 (ff. 387-474). Quires 2 and 3 are missing with lacunae in the text; numbering on quire 7 contains a crossed out "6" (f. 37r); quires 1, 59, 60 och 62 contain numberings on the verso pages of the last leaves (ff. 12v, 379v, 386v, 394v); quires 49-58 have probably never existed, however the last leaf of quire 48 (f. 371) is numbered 58 in cyrillic numerals. No catchwords.
Foliation:
The manuscript has two foliations, both in upper right corner of pages: one foliation in Russian numerals in ink, most likely done by Ivan Něčaev (the same ink and the same probationes pennae as on front pastedown). The Russian foliation runs: i + (1)(1) - 7, 24 - 202, 204, 203, 205 - 209, 211, 213 - 482, 482 - 488 + i; ff. 8-23 (= quires 2 and 3) are missing; conjugate leaves 203 and 204 are rearranged probably in connection with the re-binding. The modern foliation in pencil was probably applied by the binder in connection with the rebinding. It is continuous and does not take the Russian foliation in consideration. The first text carrying leaf is f. 6 presumably because the front pastedown and the flyleaves (today ff. i and ii) were once paginated 1-5. This foliation runs: i-ii + 6-474 (+ ff. 56b; 191b) + iii.

Support:
Paper.
Watermark:
Three different watermarks: 1) a foolscap with 7 bells with a cartouche with the maker's name: I Beafort as countermark, close to Likhachev 3542 (dated to late 17th century); 2) a foolscap with 7 bells, close to Geraklitov 1374 (dated to 1678); 3) a double headed eagle behind a shield with a bear(?), close to Laucevičius 497 (dated to 1672,1674). It appears in two versions, one with a crown above the eagle's heads and with many details and one without a crown and with less details.
Condition:
One bifolioum (ff. 382 and 383) is loose.
Abstract
The Russian Chronograph is a cosmographic encyclopaedia in the form of a compilation of fragments from different works. It covers the period from the creation of the world, to the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the fall of Constantinople, Kievan and Moscow Rus and ends with the coronation of the first Romanov tsar, Mikhail Fedorovich in 1613.
Notes
There are many corrections both in the text and in the margins; traces of wax passim.
Ownership:
The recto-page of the upper flyleaf contains a signature in Russian, in cursive: Kniga stol'nika i polkovnika Ivana Konstantinoviča Něčaeva (This book belongs to stol'nik Ivan Konstantinovič Něčaev). Stol'nik and polkovnik were military ranks. In the lower margin of ff. 6r-15r runs another signature made by the same hand, in the same ink, also in cursive: Sija | kni|ga | sto|lnika | i pol|ko (16 leaves are missing, the signature continues on ff. 13, 14 and 15 (ff. 24, 25 and 26 in Cyrillic foliation) jemu | Semjon | Ščukin (This book, belonging to "stol'nik" and colo [...(was given?)] to him by Semyon Shchukin).
Acquisition:
Medeltidshandskrift 40 was donated to Lund university library in 1722 (present and former call numbers on front pastedown) by Carl Schultén (1677-1730), professor of theology, together with another Russian manuscript (Medeltidshandskrift 39), a gospel book from the 16th century. There was a colonel Ivan Konstantinovich Nechaev (d. 1719) who could have been the owner of Medeltidshandskrift 40. He was an officer in the Russian army and he may well have fought against the Swedes in Estonia in the early 18th century. Schultén worked at the university of Pärnu in 1704-1709. Thus the assumption that Schultén could have come across the book during his stay in Estonia, is not improbable.
