The Buda Chronicle (Hungarian: Budai krónika) is a 15th-century chronicle treating the early and medieval Hungarian history. While its original name is Chronica Hungarorum (Latin for "Chronicle of the Hungarians"; Hungarian: A magyarok krónikája), the chronicle is better known as the "Buda Chronicle" since the 19th century. Its text is eponymous part of the so-called Buda Chronicle family. The Buda Chronicle was printed in the capital of the Kingdom of Hungary in Buda by András Hess in 1473, becoming the first book printed in Hungary. With printing, the Buda Chronicle was not forgotten for centuries long as its predecessor Hungarian medieval chronicles, which were in manuscript codices, however the content of the Buda Chronicle soon became obsolete due to the more extensive Hungarian history of the Thuróczy Chronicle, which was published in 1488, which also bears the same title "Chronica Hungarorum".
