The article is devoted to the Chervinsky copy of the Chronicle of Soligalichs Resurrection Monastery, which was described and explored by the author in 2019 during the work of the expedition of the Archeographic Laboratory of Moscow State University in Kostroma. It off ers the fi rst scientifi c publication of this literary monument. The Cherevinsky copy is the third oldest copy after the known ones of the second version of the Chronicle. The manuscript consists of two parts written by different scribes. The fi rst dates back to 1662–63, the second to no later than the last quarter of the 17th century. The introductory article argues that the text of the copy occupies an intermediate position in the classifi cation of the manuscript tradition of the monument formulated by S.A. Semyachko. The text of the fi rst part can go back to the protograph or to the non-preserved version of the monument. The articles of the 15th century coincide with the second version of the Chronicle. Additional articles of XVII century (7162, 7167, 7171–7172) can probably be fi rst written in the Chervinsky copy. A comparison of the chronicles of this manuscript allows one to conclude that it goes back to the protograph and the second version of the Chronicle. Probably, this copy influenced the developing of the Chronicle’s variants of the last quarter of the XVII and early XIX centuries.
