The Chronicon ex chronicis
The "Chronicon ex chronicis" is a historical chronicle created in the 12th century by an unknown author, likely a monk. It compiles a timeline of world history, drawing from earlier sources, to provide a continuous account of significant events from creation to the author's time. The work reflects medieval perspectives on history, intertwining biblical narratives with the histories of various nations. It served as both a historical record and a tool for moral teaching, emphasizing the relationship between divine providence and human events. Scholars value it for its insights into medieval thought and historiography.
