Spätantike Chroniken im Fluss der Zeit : Kompilieren, Kürzen, Kontinuieren als kulturelles Phänomen, historische Quelle und philologische Herausforderung

Abstract

One change in late antiquity was the emergence of a trend toward a minor historiography in the form of lists and chronicles that were regularly edited and continued in a decentralized manner. This study gives a historical panorama of this largely overlooked phenomenon of cultural and literary history, systematically drawing out problem areas and fields of knowledge in the complex record while reflecting on modern text-critical practices.
