metadata.value: The purpose of the article the examination of a unique source — the illustrated Chronicle of celestial
  phenomena, compiled in Kazan in the early 17th century. Currently only three monuments of medieval
  chronicles with illustrations are known : Radziwill Chronicle, Illustrated Chronicle Code and
  Remezov Chronicle. Researchers have been introduced to these chronicles in the 18th century. Now
  they have been published in facsimile and comprehensively investigated. The illustrated chronicles are
  extremely rare so an unknown one has a great value. Thus the Chronicle of Celestial Phenomena from
  the collection of the Russian Academy of Sciences Library is one of the rare monuments of medieval
  literature. The Chronicle is significantly different from the other well-known illustrated chronicles
  primarily to the fact, that its author was only interested in astronomical and atmospheric phenomena
  observed in Russia from ancient times to the middle of the 16th century: comets, solar and lunar eclipses,
  meteors, halo, parhelia, etc. The author carefully sketched all these occurrences. The character of
  the images resembles that of drawings or diagrams. The author was interested in astronomy, so the
  Chronicle indicates the origination of the natural sciences in Russia at the beginning of the 17th century.
  The study of the Chronicle will reveal a new source for research of the initial phase of astronomy
  and physics in Russia. An important area in the study of the illuminated Chronicle is the analysis of
  the content and features of the text. Its sources were Russian chronicles of the 16th century though the
  Chronicle is doubtless private. The latest and most unusual recordings were made during the reign of
  the False Dmitry I. Thus, this Chronicle reflects the termination of the all-Russian chronicle tradition,
  peculiar to the second half of the 16th century. The article is devoted to the iconography of the illustrated
  ‘Chronicle of the celestial phenomena’. It was done with description and analysis of the miniatures.
  They were compared with the miniatures of Illustrated Chronicles of the 16th century, as well as with
  images from M. Belsky’s and C. Lycosthen’s Chronicles. It was proved that miniatures of the Illustrated
  chronicle were influenced by the engravings of Lycosthen’s Chronicles. Its translation was prepared
  in Moscow in 1599. Separate miniatures of the Illustrated chronicle were influenced by engravings of
  M. Belsky’s Chronicle. Refs 22.
