The chroniclers of medieval Rus were monks, who celebrated the divine services of the Byzantine church throughout every day. This study is the first to analyze how these rituals shaped their writing of the Rus Primary Chronicle, the first written history of the East Slavs. During the eleventh century, chroniclers in Kiev learned about the conversion of the Roman Empire by celebrating a series of distinctively Byzantine liturgical feasts. When the services concluded, and the clerics sought to compose a native history for their own people, they instinctively drew on the sacred stories that they sang at church. The result was a myth of Christian origins for Rus - a myth promulgated even today by the Russian government - which reproduced the Christian origins myth of the Byzantine Empire. The book uncovers this ritual subtext and reconstructs the intricate web of liturgical narratives that underlie this foundational text of pre-modern Slavic civilization.

作為一部文史結合的作品，俄羅斯初期編年史《古史紀年》具有尤為獨特的文本構建特徵，古羅斯編年史家力圖賦予古羅斯民族以源自《聖經》的神聖合法起源，構建古羅斯民族的“神聖之史”，而宗教、民族思想維度的研究亦是對《古史紀年》研究的重要維度。本書力求通過對以上三個維度的解析，研究《古史紀年》編年史文本及其對整個俄羅斯民族思想發展起到的發端性、根源性的重要作用與意義。
