The Vrhobreznica Chronicle (Serbian: Врхобрезнички љетопис) is a Serbian chronicle of which the oldest manuscript dates to 1650, from the Monastery of the Holy Trinity of Pljevlja. It is preserved in the collection of the Prague National Museum.[1] The original texts, such as those of Koporin, Peć, Studenica and Cetinje, originated in the second half of the 14th century,[verification needed] and represent the oldest Serbian chronicles and the core of medieval Serbian historiography.[2]
The 14th-century abounds in translations by unknown persons, which were called "chronicles," actually a number of separate but similar manuscripts, stemming from an original historic source that does not survive but is assumed to have been written by the credited author.
