The chronicle of Arnold, Abbot of the monastery of St John of
Lubeck, is one of the most important sources for the history of
Germany in the central Middle Ages, and is also probably the major
source for German involvement in the Crusades. The work was
intended as a continuation of the earlier chronicle of Helmold of
Bosau, and covers the years 1172-1209, in seven books. It was
completed soon after the latter date, and the author died not long
afterwards, and no later than 1214. It is thus a strictly
contemporary work, which greatly enhances its value. Abbot Arnold's
very readable chronicle provides a fascinating glimpse into German
society in the time of the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa and his
immediate successors, into a crucial period of the Crusading
movement, and also into the religious mentality of the Middle Ages.
