The Đại Việt sử lược (chữ Hán: 大越史略; lit. Abridged Chronicles of Đại Việt) or Việt sử lược (chữ Hán: 越史略; lit. Abridged Chronicles of Viet) is an historical text that was compiled during the Trần dynasty. The three-book work was finished around 1377 and covers the history of Vietnam from the reign of Triệu Đà to the collapse of the Lý dynasty. During the Fourth Chinese domination of Vietnam, the book, together with almost all official records of the Trần dynasty, was taken away to China and subsequently collected in the Siku Quanshu. The Đại Việt sử lược is considered the earliest chronicle about the history of Vietnam that remains today. Source: Wikipedia (en)
