The Chronicle

Chronicorum Libri Duo

Sulpicius Severus · c. 363 – c. 425

Sacred history from creation to the year 400, written in a deliberately plain style. It closes with the execution of Priscillian at Trier and Sulpicius's flat verdict that the affair was a disgrace, since the bishops who pressed for it were worse than the man they killed.
