Eberhard Ablauff's chronicle is one of two late-medieval Observant Franciscan chronicles from the Bohemian province, part of the Cismontane family of Observant Franciscans. The text operates on three significant levels. First, it provides a detailed account of the history of the Bohemian province; second, it contributes to the broader Franciscan Observant narrative especially in relation to the Cismontane family; and third, it reveals the intellectual horizon and worldview of a late-medieval Observant friar. The chronicle covers the rapid growth of the Observant movement and the early years of the German Reformation. This carefully edited and annotated Latin chronicle is an invaluable resource for historians of European religion, culture, society, and politics.
