Robert was at the heart of the Norman political network that revolved around Empress Matilda and her son Henry II, and so a crucial witness to the intense political transformations occurring in the Anglo-Norman world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book places his chronicle within its wider textual community, casting new light on the social practices, intellectual rationale, and ambitions of the chroniclers who followed the historiographical traditions of Eusebius of Caesarea, Jerome and Sigebert of Gembloux. Along with Torigni's \u003ci\u003eChronography\u003c\/i\u003e, the book examines how independent chroniclers and continuators at Savigny, Mortemer, Ourscamp as well as John of Salisbury adapted the chronicles of Eusebius-Jerome and Sigebert, openly engaging with - or reacting against - their understanding of time, empire and power. It demonstrates how textual traditions and ideological discourses can move across geopolitical boundaries, illuminating the specific circumstances that made the Eusebius-Jerome and Sigebert tradition of chronicle-writing successful in this period.","brand":"York Medieval Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47778899689623,"sku":"9781914049323","price":13577.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781914049323.webp?v=1778031945","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/robert-of-torignis-chronography-and-the-universal-chronicle-tradition-9781914049323","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
