The Remezov Letopis or Remezov Chronicle (Russian: Ремезовская летопись) is a Russian chronicle and one of the Siberian Letopises, compiled by Russian historian Semyon Remezov in the late 17th century.[1]

Description

The Yesipov Letopis is the principal source.[2] There are two versions; the Mirovich version was printed in the 1907 volume and belonged to Pyotr Mirovich, who helped Gerhard Friedrich Müller find the manuscript in Tobolsk.[2] Müller handed it to the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences in 1744 and called it the Tobolsk Chronicle.[2] It was first published in Opisaniye Sibirskago tsarstva in 1750.[3] The Mirovich version contains illustrations.[4]

Although it is undated and appears to be unsigned, it is known to have been written by Semyon Remezov, the son of a Tobolsk noble.[5] A letter code in the last paragraph says "written by Semyon Remezov" when solved.[5]
