CONTRIBUTION TO THE CRITIQUE OF THE FRAGMENT OF »CHRONOLOGIA«, A WORK ASCRIBED TO JOHN ARCHDEACON OF GERCS
Mladen Švab
Abstract
Unlike other authors who studied the Fragment, the author of this paper proceeded another way, ie. attempted to establish credibility of data in the Fragment, and not to answer the question whether John, archdeacon of Geres, wrote it or not. The results show that the Fragment consists of following cathegories of data.
The data undoubtedly taken over from positively established other sources: quotation from Annales Stadenses, of little importance for historical problems, but indicative for familiarizing with the literature used by the author of the Fragment; adapted data about the war between Conrad and Stephen, which, although supplemented, can be deduced from Würzburg Chronicle or Ekkehard’s Universal Chronicle. The same applies to the datum about peace contract in 1031, only the Emeric’s role as a reconciliator has to be excluded from it.
