Talk:Lithuanian Chronicles

The interest of Albrecht Goštautas in Roman pedigrees is easy to understand: he seems to have descended (on his mother's side) from a Byzantine niece of Zoe Palaiologina and, by this measure, was probably the heir to the ephemeral crown of the Eastern Roman Empire. --Ghirla-трёп- 22:59, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Two questions for you:
 * You linked Uvarov Chronicle to Sergey Uvarov. But knowing nothing about Uvarovs and which one was the one, Aleksey Uvarov fits the picture much better. Do you have anything that linkts the chronicle with Sergey?
 * You also linked Mikhailo Olelkovich but his article does not mention anything about Lutsk. There were many other Olelkoviches, are you sure this is the one?
 * And it should not be moved to lower-case as "Lithuanian Chronicle" (like Primary Chronicle) is a proper name that can refer to any one of the three redactions. Since there are three of such chronicles - plural. Renata 03:49, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Does somebody really define the language of the Lithuanian Chronicles as Church Slavonic? It is awkward indeed; the written language of the period is surely influenced by Church Slavonic to some extent, but its main basis is the colloquial language. It is enough to mention that it is full of Polish borrowings, and some manuscripts (notably that of Rachynski) follow the local phonetical peculiarities in writing. 136.206.1.49 (talk) 10:44, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
