Chronicle of Dalimil

The ''Chronicle of Dalimil'' () is the first chronicle written in the Old Czech language.

It was composed in verse by an unknown author at the beginning of the 14th century. The Chronicle compiles information from older Czech chronicles written in Latin (like ''Chronica Boemorum''), and also the author's own experiences. The chronicle finishes before 1314, but it is usually published including the entries of later authors describing events up to 1319.

There exist 14 manuscripts and fragments, with two different redactions. The Dalimil was translated three times into Middle High German (including the recently identified translation by Merbort), and once into Latin. Provided by Wikipedia
