Everything about Chronicon Jerome totally explained
The
Chronicle (or Chronicon or Temporum liber) was a
universal chronicle, one of
Jerome's earliest attempts in the department of history. It was composed circa
380 in
Constantinople; this is a translation into Latin of the chronological tables which compose the second part of the
Chronicon of
Eusebius, with a supplement covering the period from
325 to
379. In spite of numerous errors taken over from Eusebius, and some of his own, Jerome produced a valuable work of
universal history, if only for the impulse which it gave to such later chroniclers as
Prosper,
Cassiodorus, and
Victor of Tunnuna to continue his annals.
The Chronicle contains a chronology of the events of
Greek mythology, based on the work of
Hellenistic scholars such as
Apollodorus,
Diodorus Siculus, and
Eusebius. While the earlier parts are clearly unhistorical, there may be scattered remnants of historical events of late
Mycenean Greece from entires of the
12th century BC (see
Historicity of the Iliad; notably, Jerome's date for the capture of
Troy of 1183 BC corresponds remarkably well with the destruction layer of
Troy VIIa, the main candidate for the historical inspiration of legendary Troy, dated to ca. 1190 BC).
Homer himself is dated to 940 BC, while modern scholarship usually places him after 800 BC.
