Claudius of Turin’s "De sex aetatibus mundi" – Manuscript study and first critical edition

At the first entry of the 2025 HIT Online Seminar on February 18, 2025, Patrick S. Marschner presented his research on Claudius of Turin’s De sex aetatibus mundi, offering an in-depth discussion of his forthcoming book.

His study examines a text often referred to as a "chronicle" but more accurately described as a treatise on computus and historical division from Creation to the year 814. Marschner’s research sheds new light on the manuscript tradition, the text’s reception in the post-Carolingian period, and the significant variations among surviving copies. His forthcoming edition will present the first complete edition and translation of this work.
