Đại Việt Sử ký Toàn thư (History of Greater Vietnam) is a significant national historical chronicle. It was first fully woodblock-printed and published in the year Đinh Sửu, the 18th year of the Chính Hòa era under Emperor Lê Hy Tông, corresponding to 1697. In the preface to this publication—entitled Preface to the Continued Compilation of the Đại Việt Sử ký—the editorial team, led by Lê Hy, Grand Councillor and Minister of Justice and Director of the Imperial Secretariat, noted that this national history was the result of a long process of compilation and revision across multiple dynasties. As such, the "History of Greater Vietnam" is a comprehensive historical work that integrates many previous chronicles written by generations of historians—from Lê Văn Hưu of the Trần dynasty, to Phan Phu Tiên and Ngô Sĩ Liên, Vũ Quỳnh of the early Lê dynasty, and later Phạm Công Trứ and Lê Hy of the Revival Lê period—along with their collaborators. According to the printed edition based on woodblocks carved in the 18th year of Chính Hòa (1697), known as the Nội các quan bản (Cabinet Edition), and hereafter referred to as the Chính Hòa edition, this chronicle consists of a preface volume and 24 volumes of content, systematically recording the history of the Vietnamese people from the Hồng Bàng lineage to the year 1675. The Chính Hòa woodblock edition (printed in 1697) holds not only immense historical value but also stands as a priceless cultural heritage, reflecting the advanced techniques of woodblock printing, historical linguistics, and the Confucian political and moral thought of post-Lê dynasty Vietnamese society. It is also the only complete ancient printed edition of this work that has survived to this day, highly regarded by scholars both in Vietnam and abroad as a foundational source for studying the medieval history and culture of Đại Việt. At present, the Chính Hòa edition of the "History of Greater Vietnam" is preserved at the Library of Social Sciences (under the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences). A searchable digital version of this 1697 edition has been designed and developed by the Văn phòng Nôm Na (Nom Na Office, Hanoi), with contributions from Tô Trọng Đức, Vũ Xuân Lương, Lê Văn Cường, Lương Thị Hạnh, and Ngô Thanh Giang, under the direction of Professor John Balaban, scholar Ngô Thanh Nhàn, and Dr. Ngô Trung Việt.
