ROBERT OF AUXERRE (c. 1156-1212)

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 401 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RHY-RON
ROBERT OF AUXERRE (c. 1156-1212) , French chronicler, was an inmate of the monastery of St Marien at Auxerre. At the request of Milo de Trainel (11551202), abbot of this
house
 , he wrote a Chronicon, or universal history, which covers the period between the creation of the world and 1211. For the years previous to 1181 this is merely a compilation from Prosper of Aquitaine, Sigebert of Gembloux and others, but it is an
original
  authority for the period from 1181 to 1211. It is one of the most valuable sources for the history of France during the reign of Philip
Augustus
 , and it also contains information about other European countries, the Crusades and affairs in the
East
 . Molinier, in fact, describes the author as one of the best historians of the middle ages. Robert was evidently a man of
great
 
diligence
  and of sound judgment. Two continuators took the
work
  down to 1228 and it was extensively used by later chroniclers. The
original
  manuscript is now at Auxerre.
The Chronicon was first published by N. Camuzat at
Troyes
  in 16o8 ; the best edition is in Band xxvi. of the Monunienta Germaniae historica. Scriptores, with introduction by A. Holder - Egger. Robert has been identified, but on very questionable grounds, with a certain Robert Abolant, an official of the monastery of St Marien, who died in 1214. See A. Molinier, Les Sources de l'histoire de France, tomes iii. and iv. (19031904).
