The Cetinje Chronicle (Serbian: Цетињски љетопис/Cetinjski ljetopis) is a collection of manuscripts (letters, documents, reports and poems) compiled by Vasilije Petrović who added some of his own writings to it. It contains 81 leaves of dimensions 32 cm x 21,5 cm. It is kept in Cetinje monastery. There are other versions of this collection (in Odessa, St Petersburg, &c.)[1] which are not identical to the original because the original texts were transcribed by different people at different times. The first scholar who used this chronicle as source for his works was Vasilije Petrović who used it for his work on history of Montenegro, published in Moscow in 1754.

´There are several preserved transcriptions of this manuscript collection. The original is kept in Cetinje monastery. One version was given in 1830 by Njegoš to Polish collector Kucharski. After Kucharski's death it was purchased by Odessa University.[2]

    U nauci su poznata dva cetinjska ljetopisa, od kojih se jedan ne nalazi u Manastiru cetinjskom. Oni su sadržajem različiti, iako se ne isključuju. Razlika je među njima u vremenu pisanja. Prvi doseže do kraja XV vijeka. Njega je proučavao Vatroslav Jagić, prema rukopisu br. 104 Biblioteke Odeskog univerziteta. On se nalazi u zaostavštini poljskog slaviste A. Kuharskog, koju je otkupio Novorosijskij univerzitet u Odesi.
