Summary:

There are several reasons why the chronicle is particularly suited as the topic of a yearbook. In the first place there is its ubiquity: all over Europe and throughout the Middle Ages chronicles were written, both in Latin and in the vernacular, and not only in Europe but also in the countries neighbouring on it, like those of the Arabic world. Secondly, all chronicles raise such questions as by whom, for whom, or for what purpose were they written, how do they reconstruct the past, what determined the choice of verse or prose, or what kind of literary influences are discernable in them. Finally, many chronicles have been beautifully illuminated, and the relation between text and image leads to a wholly different set of questions. The yearbook The Medieval Chronicle aims to provide a representative survey of the on-going research in the field of chronicle studies, illustrated by examples from specific chronicles from a wide variety of countries, periods and cultural backgrounds. The Medieval Chronicle is published in cooperation with the Medieval Chronicle Society.

Notes:

Description based on print version record.

"Whereas the third issue of The Medieval Chronicle was, like its predecessors, still basically a proceedings volume, since all its papers originated from the 3rd International Conference on the Medieval Chronicle (Utrecht/Doorn 2002), the present one clearly shows the change to a regular "Yearbook of Chronicle Studies ... The opening paper ... and six others were first read at the 2002 Conference, the remaining six are original contributions."--Pref.
