The '''''Ostroh Chronicler''''' ({{langx|uk|Остро́зький літо́писець|translit=Ostróz'kyy litópysets'}}) is a [Ukrainian](/source/Ukraine) [chronicle](/source/chronicle) of the late 30s of the 17th century.{{sfn|Bevzo|1971|p=8–12 (Вступ; Introduction)}} The [NASU Institute of Ukrainian Language](/source/NASU_Institute_of_Ukrainian_Language) has designated it as a monument of the Ukrainian language ({{langx|uk|Пам'ятка української мови|translit=Pam'yatka ukrajins'koj movy}}<ref>Vasyl Vasylovych Nimchuk. [http://litopys.org.ua/ukrmova/um60.htm Пам'ятки української мови (Monuments of the Ukrainian language)]. {{ill|Ukrainian Language: Encyclopaedia|uk|Українська мова (енциклопедія)}} (2000).

== Overview ==
The ''Ostroh Chronicler'' is not only a historical source, but also a monument of the Ukrainian language and literature. The ''Ostroh Chronicler'' has survived in the only known manuscript entitled: ''From the Chronicles of Bielski's Collection of Necessities Selected'', discovered by academician M. M. Tikhomirov in a codex in the museum collection of the State Historical Museum in Moscow and published by him in 1951 under the title ''Ostroh Chronicler''. This title is fully consistent with the content of the main part of the work, which focuses on the city of [Ostroh](/source/Ostroh) (modern [Rivne Oblast](/source/Rivne_Oblast)) and the events in Ostroh.

== Contents ==

The entire chronicle covers the period from 1500 to 1636. The chronicle is divided into two parts: the first part, containing events up to and including the year 1598, is a summary of the news from the ''Chronicle of [Marcin Bielski](/source/Marcin_Bielski)''; and the second part, covering the period from 1599 to 1636. In the first part, the chronicler of Ostroh followed Bielski's lead, copying certain parts of his ''Chronicle'' verbatim from Polish into [Ruthenian](/source/Ruthenian_language). In the second part, the author, along with general historical events, which he covers more extensively than in the first part, systematically notes local economic, social, meteorological and other phenomena. In this part of the chronicle, the author pays much attention to news concerning social relations between different segments of the population. He is particularly interested in issues related to the Orthodox struggle against the [Union of Brest](/source/Union_of_Brest) (1596). He also pays attention to individuals from the princely [Ostrogski family](/source/Ostrogski_family).
