| description | This article examines the issue of when the title of Velikii Kniaz’ was first
used in the light of accumulated textual analyses of the Povest’ Vremennykh
Let. Section 2 presents the current state of research. Section 3 outlines the
historiographical viewpoints on the Povest’ and how the time of its
composition relates to first use of the title. Particular emphasis falls on
four Byzantine-Rus’ treaties mentioned in the Povest’. It is argued that the
time when first version of the PVL emerged - the 1110s - sets a terminus ante
quem on the introduction of the title of Grand Prince in Kievan Rus’. Section
4 investigates two other sources discussed in current research: a letter by
Metropolitan Nikephoros to Prince Vladimir Monomakh, and the seal of Prince
Mstislav. Section 5 offers two explanations of why the title entered
Byzantine usage and of when conditions for it became ripe in Kievan Rus’. |
