It is structured in two parts, drawing on Jerome's Chronicle and continuing it with events up to 455. The work survives in multiple manuscript families, often appended to Prosper's other writings. The title is a modern editorial designation; medieval copies vary. Prosper's chronicle was likely composed in stages, with a first edition ending ca. 433 and a later continuation to 455. Attribution to Prosper is secure, though some later additions may be by others. The chronicle was widely used in the Middle Ages as a source for universal history and was often continued by later chroniclers.","historical_context":"The Chronicum Integrum was composed in Latin, likely in Gaul, by Prosper of Aquitaine (c. 390–c. 455 CE), a lay theologian and supporter of Augustine. The work is a continuation of Jerome's Chronicle, which itself translated and updated Eusebius. Prosper's chronicle reflects the theological and political concerns of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century, including the Vandal conquest of North Africa and the Christological controversies of the time. The chronicle survives in several manuscript families, often appended to Prosper's other writings, indicating its use as a reference work. The text was later continued by anonymous authors, such as in the Gallic Chronicle of 511. The edition (ogl-pl) lacks a critical apparatus, and the precise extent of Prosper's original text is uncertain. The chronicle's entries are selective, focusing on events of interest to a Christian audience.","significance":"Prosper's chronicle is a key source for the history of the 5th-century Western Roman Empire, particularly for the Vandal conquest of Africa and the reign of Valentinian III. It also provides insight into the reception of Augustine's theology in Gaul. The work's wide medieval transmission and continuation by later chroniclers demonstrate its importance as a model for universal history. It relates to other chronicles, such as those of Jerome and the Gallic Chronicle of 511, and to the theological works of Prosper himself.","timeline":[{"date":"c. 390–c. 455 CE","event":"Life of Prosper of Aquitaine, author of the Chronicum Integrum."},{"date":"c. 433 CE","event":"Probable date of the first edition of Prosper's chronicle."},{"date":"455 CE","event":"Terminus of the chronicle, with the reign of Valentinian III."},{"date":"439 CE","event":"Geiseric entered Carthage (19 October), an event recorded in the chronicle."},{"date":"477–484 CE","event":"Reign of Huneric, Vandal king, whose persecution of Nicene Christians is noted."},{"date":"6th century","event":"The chronicle was continued by later authors, e.g., the Gallic Chronicle of 511."}],"relations":[{"work":"Jerome's Chronicle","relation":"Source and model for Prosper's chronicle","key":"","label":null,"url":null},{"work":"Gallic Chronicle of 511","relation":"Later continuation of Prosper's chronicle","key":"","label":null,"url":null},{"work":"De viris illustribus by Gennadius of Marseilles","relation":"Contemporary reference to Prosper's chronicle","key":"","label":null,"url":null},{"work":"Augustine's works","relation":"Theological influence on Prosper","key":"","label":null,"url":null},{"work":"Eusebius's Chronicle","relation":"Ultimate source through Jerome","key":"","label":null,"url":null}],"external_links":[],"cautions":["The date of composition is uncertain; the chronicle was likely composed in stages, with a first edition ca. 433 and a continuation to 455.","Attribution to Prosper of Aquitaine is secure, but some later additions may be by others.","The title Chronicum Integrum is a modern editorial designation; medieval copies vary in title and content.","The edition (ogl-pl) lacks a critical apparatus and full manuscript stemma; variant readings and the precise extent of Prosper's original text are not fully addressed.","The chronicle's entries are selective and reflect Prosper's theological and political interests; readers should not assume comprehensive coverage."],"model":"deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash:floor","provider":"Relace","cost_usd":0.000547,"generated":"2026-11-15T06:01:38Z"},"links":[{"kind":"source","label":"Open Greek and Latin Patrologia Latina","url":"https://github.com/OpenGreekAndLatin/patrologia_latina-dev/blob/master/data/tmp837/tmp837/tmp837.tmp837.opp-lat1.xml"}],"checks":{"work":"tmp837.tmp837.opp-lat1","status":"pass","blocking":[],"warnings":[],"stats":{"passages":3,"translated":3,"commentary_passages":3,"commentary_units":17,"english_words":615,"source_letters":2401,"commentary_kinds":7},"model":"deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash:floor"},"work_notes":[{"unit":"sense","kind":"sense","basis":"text","lemma":"","severity":"info","text":"The Chronicum Integrum is a universal chronicle from Creation to the reign of Valentinian III, structured in two parts.
