Arnoldi Chronica Slavorum
The Chronica Slavorum ( Slavic Chronicle ), written by Arnold von Lübeck around 1210 , is a continuation of Helmold von Bosau 's Chronica Slavorum of the same name and extends from 1171 to 1209, i.e. until Arnold's presence.
The main focus is on the story of Henry the Lion and his sons about the Henry VI crusade. up to Emperor Otto IV , but not so much on the Slavs and colonization in the east . The chronicle is characterized by great admiration for Heinrich the Lion and the Guelphs in general as well as a negative attitude towards the Staufer Friedrich I , which can be explained by Arnold's proximity to the Guelph family. The chronicle emphasizes the royal (and imperial) claim of the Guelph family and especially Otto IV. It shows the Guelph view of the fall of Henry the Lion.
Schmeidler's edition was based on: Additamenta 50 folio from the University Library in Copenhagen, since 1937 in Det Kongelige Bibliotek and a manuscript from the Lübeck City Library , as well as excerpts in Vienna; other manuscripts are only known from the prints in which they were used. The Copenhagen manuscript GKS 646 was used by Lappenberg, but is not even mentioned by Schmeidler.
