Surviving in a single manuscript tradition within the Ogl-pl corpus, it follows the Eusebius-Jerome chronicle tradition and was used by later medieval writers such as Bede. The work includes genealogical divisions of the earth among Noah's sons and a section on Passover, indicating liturgical or computistical interests. Its author and precise date remain unknown, but internal evidence suggests composition in the early 6th century in a Latin-speaking late antique milieu.","historical_context":"The Chronicon was likely composed in the early 6th century, as it extends to the reign of Emperor Anastasius I (491–518). The anonymous author wrote in a Latin-speaking milieu of the late antique Mediterranean, possibly in a monastic or scholarly community. The work survives in a single manuscript tradition, transmitted as part of the Ogl-pl corpus, which collates multiple witnesses. It belongs to the genre of universal chronicles, following the model of Eusebius of Caesarea and Jerome, and was used by later chroniclers like Bede. The inclusion of a 'Declaratio Paschae' suggests a connection to Easter table traditions and computistical literature. The text's attribution to 'Anonymus' reflects the lack of external testimony; no firm connection to any known historical figure can be established.","significance":"The Chronicon is significant as a late antique Latin universal chronicle that bridges the patristic and early medieval historiographical traditions. It preserves genealogical and chronological frameworks that influenced later works, notably Bede's world chronicle. Its inclusion of a Passover section highlights the intersection of chronicle writing with liturgical computation, offering insights into early medieval scholarly practices.","timeline":[{"date":"Early 6th century","event":"Composition of the Chronicon, extending to the reign of Anastasius I (491–518)."},{"date":"4th–5th centuries","event":"Eusebius-Jerome chronicle tradition established, influencing the Chronicon's structure."},{"date":"8th century","event":"Bede uses the Chronicon as a source for his own world chronicle."},{"date":"Medieval period","event":"The Chronicon is transmitted in a single manuscript tradition, later collated in the Ogl-pl corpus."},{"date":"Modern era","event":"The work is edited without a critical apparatus; users consult Ogl-pl for textual details."}],"relations":[{"work":"Eusebius-Jerome Chronicle","relation":"Model and source for the universal chronicle genre","key":"","label":null,"url":null},{"work":"Bede's De temporum ratione","relation":"Later work that drew on the Chronicon's genealogical framework","key":"","label":null,"url":null},{"work":"Chronica Gallica","relation":"Contemporary Latin chronicle with similar imperial succession lists","key":"","label":null,"url":null},{"work":"Jerome's Hebraicae Quaestiones","relation":"Patristic source for the division of the earth among Noah's sons","key":"","label":null,"url":null},{"work":"Liber Generationis (biblical)","relation":"Echoes the title of the Book of Genesis (LXX: Γένεσις)","key":"","label":null,"url":null}],"external_links":[{"key":"wikipedia:Universal chronicle","label":"Universal chronicle","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_history_%28genre%29","reason":"Context for the genre of the Chronicon"},{"key":"wikipedia:Eusebius","label":"Eusebius of Caesarea","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eusebius","reason":"Influential chronicler whose work the Chronicon follows"},{"key":"wikipedia:Jerome","label":"Jerome","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerome","reason":"Translator and continuator of Eusebius' chronicle"},{"key":"wikipedia:Bede","label":"Bede","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bede","reason":"Later chronicler who used the Chronicon as a source"},{"key":"wikipedia:Anastasius I Dicorus","label":"Anastasius I","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anastasius_I_Dicorus","reason":"Emperor at the end of the Chronicon's narrative"}],"cautions":["The author's identity and precise date remain unknown; the work is attributed to 'Anonymus' due to lack of external testimony.","The date of composition is inferred from the narrative's endpoint (reign of Anastasius I, 491–518) but is not explicitly stated.","The work survives in a single manuscript tradition; variant readings are not critically edited in the available edition.","The heading 'anno Christi 236' in the sample commentary is anachronistic and may reflect later scribal addition or miscalculation."],"model":"deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash:floor","provider":"Relace","cost_usd":0.000493,"generated":"2026-11-15T07:11:08Z"},"links":[{"kind":"source","label":"Open Greek and Latin Patrologia Latina","url":"https://github.com/OpenGreekAndLatin/patrologia_latina-dev/blob/master/data/tmp2/tmp2/tmp2.tmp2.opp-lat1.xml"}],"checks":{"work":"tmp2.tmp2.opp-lat1","status":"pass","blocking":[],"warnings":[],"stats":{"passages":37,"translated":37,"commentary_passages":37,"commentary_units":219,"english_words":6654,"source_letters":28099,"commentary_kinds":10},"model":"deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash:floor"},"work_notes":[{"unit":"transmission","kind":"transmission","basis":"text","lemma":"","severity":"info","text":"The Chronicon survives in a single manuscript tradition, with the Liber Generationis forming its first part.
