Summary/Abstract: Short chronicles enter in the Bulgarian literature during the “Gold century”, but they are a productive genre in 16-18 c. Most widespread writing is “Story in short from Adam to this day”. He is saved in three short chronicles, beginning from the Creation – the Annals of Beljacovo, Vissarion`s Annals and the Annals of Sarandapor. These texts come from different redactions of one Serbian work, but they are so distended one from other, that we have adopt them as separated writings. Annals are divided of two pieces – biblical and historical. A basic source from the biblical history is the second translation of the George Hamartolos` Chronicle, known as “Annual”, made in Bulgaria in 14 c. A part of the chronological notices in the three annals are missing in Hamartolos. Their source is the patriarch Nikephoros` Short Chronicle, translated in Bulgaria in the end of 9-beginning of 10 c. Probably the compilation is made from a Serbian writer. Slavonic translation of the writing gains wide currency in the Russian lands. There are determined three Russian redactions of the text. In the saved Serbian and Bulgarian texts is evident the connections whit all Russian redactions. Saved copies and redactions of “Story in short from Adam to this day” prove the complicated literary ties between Bulgaria, Serbia and Russia. Writers perceive the patriarch Nikephoros` Short Chronicle as an open text, in which they can to insert your history. In the short chronicles from 16-18 c. is visible a tradition, who arise during the “Gold century”.
