Chronicon Gothanum
The ''Historia Langobardorum codicis Gothani'', also called the ''Chronicon Gothanum'', is a history of the Lombard people written at and for the court of King Pippin of Italy between the years 806 and 810. It is preserved in the twelfth-century '' Codex Gothanus'', Forschungsbibliothek 84 at Gotha, from which its conventional Latin titles are derived; The chronicle is not titled in the manuscript. The text is ideologically pro-Carolingian, and among its sources are Isidore of Seville and possibly Jerome.Everett (2003), 93–94. Date, place and author The ''Chronicon'' covers the period from the origins of the Lombards to the campaign of Pippin against Islamic Corsica: "Then the island of Corsica, oppressed by the Moors, his army liberated from their rule." This campaign is also recorded in the ''Annales regni Francorum'', which place it in the year 806. Since the ''Chronicon'' also praises Pippin as if he is still living, it must have been written between the last event it reco ...

Chronicon Lethrense
''Chronicon Lethrense'' ( Danish: ''Lejrekrøniken'' English: ''Chronicle of Lejre/Leire'') is a small Danish medieval work from the 12th century, written in Latin. Themes Unlike ''Chronicon Roskildense'', which deals primarily with information presented as real historical facts after the introduction of Christianity in Denmark, ''Chronicon Lethrense'' is a recording of folklore about the old pre-Christian Danish kings and the adventure stories that were eventually associated with them. In that sense it is not much different from the first part of Sven Aggesøn's '' Brevis Historia Regum Dacie'' or Saxo Grammaticus' ''Gesta Danorum'', though considerably smaller and of much lesser quality. It is sometimes referred to as the "Chronicle of the Kings of Lejre." One of the noted aspects of ''Chronicon Lethrense'' is the writer's deep hatred of all things German, which at times takes on epic proportions. This German hatred can also be traced, although to a lesser degree, in Agges ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Chronicle
A chronicle ( la, chronica, from Greek ''chroniká'', from , ''chrónos'' – "time") is a historical account of events arranged in chronological order, as in a timeline. Typically, equal weight is given for historically important events and local events, the purpose being the recording of events that occurred, seen from the perspective of the chronicler. A chronicle which traces world history is a universal chronicle. This is in contrast to a narrative or history, in which an author chooses events to interpret and analyze and excludes those the author does not consider important or relevant. The information sources for chronicles vary. Some are written from the chronicler's direct knowledge, others from witnesses or participants in events, still others are accounts passed down from generation to generation by oral tradition.Elisabeth M. C. Van Houts, ''Memory and Gender in Medieval Europe: 900–1200'' (Toronto; Buffalo : University of Toronto Press, 1999), pp. 19–20. S ...

Chronicon Paschale
''Chronicon Paschale'' (the ''Paschal'' or ''Easter Chronicle''), also called ''Chronicum Alexandrinum'', ''Constantinopolitanum'' or ''Fasti Siculi'', is the conventional name of a 7th-century Greek Christian chronicle of the world. Its name comes from its system of chronology based on the Christian paschal cycle; its Greek author named it ''Epitome of the ages from Adam the first man to the 20th year of the reign of the most August Heraclius''. Structure The 'Chronicon Paschale' follows earlier chronicles. For the years 600 to 627 the author writes as a contemporary historian—that is, through the last years of emperor Maurice, the reign of Phocas, and the first seventeen years of the reign of Heraclius. Like many chroniclers, the author of this popular account relates anecdotes, physical descriptions of the chief personages (which at times are careful portraits), extraordinary events such as earthquakes and the appearance of comets, and links Church history with a suppo ...

Chronicon Holtzatiae
The ''Chronicon Holtzatiae auctore presbytero Bremensi'' is a Latin universal chronicle from the year 1448, but concentrating on the County of Holstein (the ''terra Holsacie'') and written by an anonymous presbyter of Bremen originally from Holstein. It has received three modern editions, the first by the philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz in 1698. Other than that it has been rather neglected by medievalists; its Latin is poor and its author imaginative. For the years before 1170 the principal source for the anonymous presbyter is Helmold's ''Cronica Slavorum''. After this date he has no discernible source. He describes himself as a ''scriba hujus patrie'' (scribe of this fatherland), probably indicating a low-level position in the comital chancery, then in its earliest stages. An analysis of the ''Chronicon'' suggests that he had access to comital documents and that he participated in the 1447 negotiations at Lübeck between Adolf VIII of Holstein-Rendsburg and Duke of Schles ...

Chronicon Abbatiae De Evesham
The ''Chronicon Abbatiae de Evesham'' or ''Chronicle of the Abbey of Evesham'', sometimes the ''Evesham Chronicle'', is a medieval chronicle written at and about Evesham Abbey in Worcestershire in western England. Contents and authorship It covers the history of the abbey from 714 to 1539, and the early sections from 714 to 1214 were probably mostly composed by Thomas of Marlborough, who was abbot from 1230 to 1236. An unknown continuator brought the work down to 1418.Graves ''Bibliography'' p. 841 The earliest parts of the chronicle concern St. Egwin, and were probably written by a prior of the house, Dominic, sometime before 1125.Knowles ''Monastic Order'' pp. 704–705 Egwin was a bishop of Worcester who died in 717. Also included in the ''Chronicon'' is a narrative of the translation of the relics of St Odulph, and the life of St Wigstan. The historian R. R. Darlington felt that the account of Abbot Æthelwig that is part of the chronicle was not written by Thomas, and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Chronicon (Eusebius)
The ''Chronicon'' or ''Chronicle'' ( Greek: Παντοδαπὴ ἱστορία ''Pantodape historia'', "Universal history") was a work in two books by Eusebius of Caesarea. It seems to have been compiled in the early 4th century. It contained a world chronicle from Abraham until the vicennalia of Constantine I in A.D. 325. Book 1 contained sets of extracts from earlier writers; book 2 contained a technically innovative list of dates and events in tabular format. The original Greek text is lost, although substantial quotations exist in later chronographers. Both books are mostly preserved in an Armenian translation. Book 2 is entirely preserved in the Latin translation by Jerome. Portions also exist in quotation in later Syriac writers such as the fragments by James of Edessa and, following him, Michael the Syrian. The ''Chronicle'' as preserved extends to the year 325, and was written before the " Church History". Contents The work was composed divided into two part ...

Chronicon Compostellanum
The ''Chronicon Compostellanum'' ( gl, Cronicón compostelán, es, Cronicón compostelano) is a narrative Latin chronicle of the history of Spain from the arrival of the Visigoths (which it dates to 362) until the death of Queen Urraca of León on 8 March 1126. It was probably written shortly after this date, and probably in Galicia. It covers the history of the Visigothic kingdom and their successors, the Kingdom of Asturias, rapidly, incorporating the ''Laterculum regum ovetensium'' ("List of the kings of Oviedo"), a regnal list of the Asturian monarchy from Pelagius to Alfonso II written sometime after 791 and also incorporated in the ''Chronicon Iriense'' and the '' Annales Portugalenses veteres''. For the eleventh-century Kingdom of León it is the earliest surviving source after the '' Historia silense'' (1109–18). The cause of Urraca's death—in labour with the child of her lover, Pedro González de Lara—is recorded in the ''Chronicon''. Its first editor and publisher, ...

Chronicon Lusitanum
The ''Chronicon Lusitanum'' or ''Lusitano'' (also ''Chronica Lusitana'' or ''Chronica/Chronicon Gothorum'') is a chronicle of the history of Portugal from the earliest migrations of the Visigoths (which it dates to 311) through the reign of Portugal's first king, Afonso Henriques (1139–85). The entries in the chronicle, ordered by year and dated by the Spanish Era, get increasingly longer and the majority of the text deals with the reign of Afonso. The conventional title of the chronicle means "Lusitanian (i.e. Portuguese) chronicle" or "chronicle of the Goths". It was first given by the editor Enrique Flórez, who rejected the title under which it had previously been edited (''Gothorum Chronica'') because of its subject matter. Flórez also claims that the manuscript of the ''Chronicon'' had previously been utilised by André de Resende, the first archaeologist of Portugal, and , the first journalist of Portugal; it was also edited in the third volume of the ''Monarchia Lusita ...

Chronicon Scotorum
''Chronicon Scotorum'', also known as ''Chronicum Scotorum'', is a medieval Irish chronicle. Overview According to Nollaig Ó Muraíle, it is "a collection of annals belonging to the ' Clonmacnoise group', covering the period from prehistoric times to 1150 but with some gaps, closely related to the 'Annals of Tigernach'. It survives in a paper copy made by Dubhaltach MacFhirbhisigh c.1640 from an exemplar no longer extant." MacFhirbhisigh's copy was held by his friend (and possible pupil) Ruaidhrí Ó Flaithbheartaigh in the late 17th century, but was in France for a time in the 1760s before its purchase by Trinity College Dublin in 1776. Edited and published by William M. Hennessy in 1866, it is accorded to be one of the more valuable Irish annals by virtue of its computistical data which were frequently distorted in other such compilations. Gilla Críst Ua Máel Eóin Gilla Críst Ua Máel Eóin (anglicised as Christian Malone; died 1127) was an Irish historian and Abbot o ...

Chronicon Helveticum
The ''Chronicon Helveticum'' (Latin for "Swiss Chronicle") is one of the oldest accounts of the early history of the Swiss Confederation. The rough draft of the ''Chronicon Helveticum'' was written by Swiss historian Aegidius Tschudi in 1550.Bergier, p. 16. Although Tschudi seems to have made the last revisions between 1569 and 1570, the monumental work did not appear in printed form until Johann Rudolf Iselin published a two-volume edition in 1734, giving it the name by which it is known today.Potter, p. 39.Führer durch das Tell-Museum in Bürglen am Klausenpass Tschudi's ''Chronicon Helveticum'' plays an important part in the historiography of Switzerland, since it contains copies of about 50 documents which have not survived in any other form.Stump, p. 225. In terms of content, Tschudi is particularly interested in representing the long-established independence of the Swiss population. Furthermore, Tschudi makes mention of the struggle between empire and pap ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
