Novgorodsko-Sofiysky Svod

"[T]extual comparisons of reconstructed non-texts [the Trinity Chronicle ] with hypothetical non-texts [the Compilation of 1448] in order to determine textual primacy cannot be definitive. (...) Inventing new hypothetical compilations or redating old hypothetical compilations is fun, but not terribly productive."

– Charles J. Halperin (2001) ^[1]

The Novgorodsko-Sofiysky Svod (Russian : Новгородско-Софийский свод, Novgorod-Sofia Compilation) is a tentative name for a hypothetical common source for the Novgorod Fourth Chronicle and the Sofia First Chronicle, according to Russian philologist Aleksey Shakhmatov. ^[2]

Shakhmatov initially dated it by the year 1448 (hence it also used to be called 1448 compilation; Russian : "свод 1448 г."), but later revised his opinion to the 1430s. ^[2] Some Russian philologists shared his opinion, while others attribute the common source to the 1418 compilation of the 15th century Photius, Metropolitan of Moscow. ^[3]
