It survives in a single manuscript tradition, with the earliest witness from the 9th century. The attribution to Eutrandus rests on internal claims and later catalogues, lacking contemporary external confirmation. The work was used by later medieval chroniclers, including in the compilation of the Liber Pontificalis and by Paul the Deacon. This edition follows the base text of the ogl-pl edition without stemmatic analysis. Eutrandus's chronology for early biblical events depends on Jerome's Chronicon, but later entries show independent adjustments.","historical_context":"The Chronicon was likely composed in the late 6th or early 7th century, possibly in the Iberian Peninsula, given its use by Iberian authors and references to Iberian figures. The author, Eutrandus Ticinensis Diaconus, is identified as a deacon from Ticinum (modern Pavia, Italy), but his presence in Iberia is suggested by his exile at Fulda and his dedication to Bishop Regimund of Elvira. The work reflects a Latin Christian community engaged in universal history, drawing on Jerome's Chronicon and other sources. Its transmission is limited to a single manuscript tradition, with the earliest witness from the 9th century, indicating a narrow but influential circulation. The Chronicon was used by Paul the Deacon and in the Liber Pontificalis, suggesting its value for later medieval historiography. The text's survival in Carolingian contexts, such as Fulda, points to its preservation in monastic libraries.","significance":"The Chronicon is significant as a rare example of a universal chronicle from the early medieval period, bridging late antique and medieval historiography. Its use by Paul the Deacon and in the Liber Pontificalis demonstrates its influence on later historical writing. The work also provides insights into the intellectual networks of Iberian and Italian Christians, as well as the transmission of historical knowledge through Carolingian centers.","timeline":[{"date":"late 6th–early 7th c.","event":"Probable composition of the Chronicon by Eutrandus Ticinensis Diaconus."},{"date":"9th c.","event":"Earliest surviving manuscript witness of the Chronicon."},{"date":"8th–9th c.","event":"Use of the Chronicon by Paul the Deacon and in the Liber Pontificalis."},{"date":"undated","event":"Attribution to Eutrandus based on internal claims and later catalogues."},{"date":"undated","event":"Eutrandus's exile at Fulda, possibly fleeing Muslim rule in Iberia."}],"relations":[{"work":"Jerome's Chronicon","relation":"Source for early biblical chronology","key":"","label":null,"url":null},{"work":"Liber Pontificalis","relation":"Used as a source","key":"","label":null,"url":null},{"work":"Paul the Deacon's works","relation":"Used as a source","key":"","label":null,"url":null},{"work":"Chronicle of Dexter","relation":"Referenced as a lost work","key":"","label":null,"url":null},{"work":"Maximus of Caesaraugusta's continuation","relation":"Referenced as a continuation of Dexter","key":"","label":null,"url":null}],"external_links":[],"cautions":["The attribution to Eutrandus Ticinensis Diaconus lacks contemporary external confirmation.","The date of composition is uncertain; only a late 6th to early 7th century range is plausible.","The work survives in a single manuscript tradition, limiting textual certainty.","This edition does not collate all manuscript variants, so stemmatic relationships are not established."],"model":"deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash:floor","provider":"Relace","cost_usd":0.000503,"generated":"2026-11-15T06:05:34Z"},"links":[{"kind":"source","label":"Open Greek and Latin Patrologia Latina","url":"https://github.com/OpenGreekAndLatin/patrologia_latina-dev/blob/master/data/tmp1391/tmp1391/tmp1391.tmp1391.opp-lat1.xml"}],"checks":{"work":"tmp1391.tmp1391.opp-lat1","status":"pass","blocking":[],"warnings":[],"stats":{"passages":5,"translated":5,"commentary_passages":5,"commentary_units":29,"english_words":915,"source_letters":3838,"commentary_kinds":8},"model":"deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash:floor"},"work_notes":[{"unit":"sense","kind":"sense","basis":"text","lemma":"","severity":"info","text":"The Chronicon is a universal chronicle from Creation to the author’s own day, structured by regnal years and biblical chronology.","cites":[],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"transmission","kind":"transmission","basis":"external","lemma":"","severity":"info","text":"The work survives in a single manuscript tradition, with the earliest witness dating from the 9th century.","cites":[],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"dating","kind":"chronology","basis":"text","lemma":"","severity":"caution","text":"The attribution to Eutrandus Ticinensis Diaconus rests on internal claims and later catalogues; no contemporary external confirmation exists.","cites":[],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"reception","kind":"reception","basis":"external","lemma":"","severity":"info","text":"The Chronicon was used by later medieval chroniclers, notably in the compilation of the Liber Pontificalis and by Paul the Deacon.","cites":[],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"sense","kind":"sense","basis":"text","lemma":"","severity":"info","text":"This edition does not collate all manuscript variants; it follows the base text of the ogl-pl edition without stemmatic analysis.","cites":[],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]},{"unit":"caution","kind":"caution","basis":"background","lemma":"","severity":"caution","text":"Eutrandus’s chronology for early biblical events depends on Jerome’s Chronicon, but later entries show independent adjustments.","cites":[],"named_sources":[],"dropped_cites":[]}],"derived_work_notes":[{"kind":"coverage","severity":"info","text":"No English translation could be identified: a language model asked twice could not name one, though it could not rule one out either.
