Chronicles of popes and emperors were widespread in the High and Late Middle Ages. Numerous manuscripts containing these historiographical works testify to the popularity of the genre. Many of those chronicles have not bee studied in detail. The conference aims to address this desideratum.
The conference will be held online via Webex on June 7, 2024. There is no registration fee; everyone is welcome. In order to attend the conference, please register contacting giuseppe.cusa(at)uni-siegen.de. Access information will be sent to you shortly before the conference.

Chronicles of Popes and Emperors. Contexts - Traditions - Contents

Chronicles of popes and emperors were widespread in the High and Late Middle Ages. Numerous manuscripts containing these historiographical works testify to the popularity of the genre. Offering historical knowledge in a compact format, they are by no means dry compendia, but differ considerably in form and content. Martin of Troppau’s successful chronicle has over-shadowed the many other chronica pontificum et imperatorum, which have not been studied in detail. The conference aims to address this desideratum by examining the contexts, contents and traditions of such chronicles. Who wrote such histories, for which audiences, and according to which models? What do they report beyond the framework of popes and emperors? How are the mise en page and the mise en texte organised?
The conference will be held online via Webex on June 7, 2024. There is no registration fee, and everyone is welcome. In order to attend the conference, please register contacting giuseppe.cusa(at)uni-siegen.de. Access information will be sent to you shortly before the conference.
