Chronicon Universale

Chronicon Universale is a historical chronicle created in the 12th century by the monk and scholar Otto von Freising. It provides a comprehensive account of world history from biblical times to the author's contemporary period. The work emphasizes the interconnectedness of events across different regions, often linking them to moral or theological lessons. Otto aimed to present an organized timeline of significant events, balancing historical facts with reflections on divine providence. While it has a unique medieval perspective, it remains an important resource for understanding how history was perceived and recorded during that time.
