At least 580-588, possibly 568-590.
Language:
Latin
State of Preservation:
Fragmentary
Genre:
- Secular history (general)
Remarks:
The history focused on events in the region of Trent, probably in relation to Lombard rule there. Often called a chronicle, it must have been a narrative work. The term historiola could be taken to indicate the briefness of the work. Traditional judgements on its importance for the History of the Lombards by Paul the Deacon are too optimistic: see Van Hoof and Van Nuffelen (2020).
