Summary of the thesis results: Ngo Cao Lang's *Lich Trieu Tap Ky* (Miscellaneous Records of Dynastic Dynasties) is a valuable unofficial history – a private history – from a literary documentary perspective. It can provide insight into many aspects of medieval Vietnamese literature, supplementing our understanding of various facets of medieval Vietnamese literature, from literary concepts to aesthetic concepts, literary life, and the language and writing systems of literature. In particular, it highlights the unique court poetry recitation style of the Lords who loved poetry, and especially the Trinh Lords' fondness and expertise in Nôm script, which elevated Nôm script to the same level as Han script – the script considered the national and orthodox writing system. The thesis also provides a basis for a source of information on a medieval literary author and an unofficial history, which still lacks depth in research and reception. 12.
