"The Chronicle is one of the most fascinating historical sources of the thirteenth century, rich in sweeping, epochal events and stories. It presents Italian religious and political life for 120 years (from 1168 to 1287), as well as the life of Salimbene de Adam, a simple monk from Parma, who wrote it. At the same time, the author shows extraordinary abilities as a writer and historian, revealing in his narrative both the known, global history of the country and the living, real images of popes and cardinals, and stories about the everyday life of his contemporaries, ordinary people of lower classes. Salimbene of Parma is a historian and a humble monk, strictly following the biblical precepts; a man close to the people and a keen observer, seeking to learn their habits, character and behavior. The mixture of these facets within a single work allows us to call the Chronicle a true encyclopedia of medieval life.
