Anonymi Chronicon Austriacum
(Redirected from Chronicon Austriacum anonymi)
The Anonymi Chronicon Austriacum (Anonymous Austrian chronicle) is an anonymous Middle Latin chronicle that covers the years 973–1327.[1] It was first published in 1793 by Adrian Rauch alongside the Annales Zwetlenses, both from a paper manuscript he found in the Bibliotheca Palatina Vindobonensis (Palatine Library of Vienna).[2]
It is an important source for the late 13th and early 14th century in Austria. It also contains pertinent information about France during the reigns of the German kings Adolf (1292–98) and Albert I (1298–1308).[1] It is the only source for the Mongol raid in the Latin Empire in 1242. Its account of this raid was copied into the Chronicon Leobiense and the Continuatio Sancrucensis.[3]
