The Đại Việt sử ký toàn thư (; ; "Complete Annals of Đại Việt") is the official national chronicle of the Vietnamese state, that was originally compiled by the royal historian Ngô Sĩ Liên under the order of the Emperor Lê Thánh Tông and was finished in 1479 during the Lê period. The 15-volume book covered the period from Hồng Bàng Dynasty to the coronation of Lê Thái Tổ, the first emperor of the Lê Dynasty in 1428. In compiling his work, Ngô Sĩ Liên based on two principal historical sources which were "Đại Việt sử ký" by Lê Văn Hưu and "Đại Việt sử ký tục biên" by Phan Phu Tiên. After its publication, "Đại Việt sử ký toàn thư" was continually supplemented by other historians of the royal court such as Vũ Quỳnh, Phạm Công Trứ and Lê Hi. Today the most popular version of "Đại Việt sử ký toàn thư" is the "Nội các quan bản" edition which was completed in 1697 with the additional information up to 1656 during the reign of the Emperor Lê Thần Tông and the Lord Trịnh Tráng. "Đại Việt sử ký toàn thư" is considered the most important and comprehensive historical book. The chronicle, which was modeled after Sima Qian’s "Records of the Grand Historian", provides a chronological historical narration beginning with the legendary Hồng Bàng dynasty (2888 BCE?) and continuing to the founding of the house of Lê in 1428.
