Summary
Victor, bishop of Tunnuna in North
Africa, continued Prosper's Chronicle from 444 until 566/7,
centring his narrative in the ecclesiastical politics of his time. His
chronicle was in turn continued in Spain for the period 566-589 by
John, abbot of Biclarum and later bishop of Gerunda (Girona).
John's work is one of the very few historical sources written in
the time of the Visigothic kingdom of Toledo, and it provides us with
some otherwise unknown information about Visigothic and Byzantine
history in his time. Later, probably in the 7th century, somebody added
marginal notes to a manuscript of the combined chronicles of Victor and
John. These marginalia contain information, much of it not known from
other sources, relating to Spanish history in the period covered by
Victor's chronicle. Mommsen named these marginalia the Chronicorum
Caesaraugustanorum reliquiae and presented them in his edition for the
Monumenta Germaniae Historica as an independent text. In the present
edition, however, they can again be read in their original and proper
context. This new edition differs from that of Mommsen's (in the
second volume of the Chronica Minora) in more than just this respect,
for it is based for the first time on the direct collation not only of
the medieval manuscript of the combined chronicles in the library of
the Universidad Complutense in Madrid, but also of all of the sixteenth
century codices Pereziani. This latter has been made possible not least
thanks to the recent discovery of photographs of the otherwise lost
codex Perezianus from Segorbe. The language of the oldest codex, the
Complutensis, which clearly conserves many distinctive late Latin
linguistic features, has only been corrected when it is obviously
faulty, thus undoing many unnecessary previous editorial interventions
in the text. Running beneath the text in this edition, quotations are
given from 'Vasaeus Chronicle' 15.
