Đại Việt sử ký toàn thư (Hán tự: 大越史記全書 "Complete history record of Great Viet") is a 15th-century Vietnamese work of history, written in classical Chinese. It was compiled by Ngô Sĩ Liên (吳士連)[1], under the order of Lê Thánh Tông. Drawing its information from two earlier works, namely Đại Việt sử ký (大越史記 "History of Great Viet") by Lê Văn Hưu (黎文休), completed in 1272, and Đại Việt sử ký tục biên (大越史記續編 "A Sequel to the History of Great Viet") by Phan Phu Tiên (潘孚先), it was finished in 1479.[1]
The work was originally divided into two parts. The first part, in five quyển (卷), or fascicles, was about the legendary Hồng Bàng Dynasty, and the Upheavals of Twelve Warlords (967). The second part, in 10 fascicles, concerned what happened between the rulings of Đinh Bộ Lĩnh (968-979) and Lê Lợi (1428-1433). Later, the work was expanded, by several hands, into a total of 24 fascicles, with the data updated to 1675.
A critical edition of the work, in three volumes, was made by Chen Chingho (陳荊和) (Tokyo, 1984).
