Author and work
Romualdus Beneventanus was archbishop of Salerno, Italy and a key figure in the Norman royal court of the Kingdom of Sicily in the late XII century. Shortly before dying in 1181/82, he wrote a universal Chronicon in Latin, starting with Adam and ending with a first-hand account of the Peace of Venice of 1177, in which Romualdus had represented the Sicilian king William II.

Digital modelling
The critical edition is based on a new digital transcription of the main manuscript, A (Vaticanus Latinus 3973) and on a collation of this MS with the previous print editions of Garufi and Bonetti.
