A '''chronicle''' ({{langx|la|chronica}}, from [[Greek language|Greek]] {{lang|grc|χρονικά}} ''chroniká'', from {{lang|grc|χρόνος}}, ''chrónos'' – "time") is a historical account of events arranged in [[chronology|chronological]] order, as in a [[timeline]]. Typically, equal weight is given for historically important events and local events, the purpose being the recording of events that occurred, seen from the perspective of the '''chronicler'''.  A chronicle which traces world history is a [[Universal history (genre)|universal chronicle]]. This is in contrast to a [[narrative]] or [[history]], in which an author chooses events to interpret and analyze and excludes those the author does not consider important or relevant.

The information sources for chronicles vary. Some are written from the chronicler's direct knowledge, others from witnesses or participants in events, still others are accounts passed down from [[generation]] to generation by [[oral tradition]].<ref name="MGME19-20">Elisabeth M. C. Van Houts, ''Memory and Gender in Medieval Europe: 900–1200'' (Toronto; Buffalo: University of Toronto Press, 1999), pp. 19–20.</ref>  Some used written material, such as [[charter]]s, [[letter (message)|letter]]s, and earlier chronicles.<ref name="MGME19-20"/> Still others are tales of unknown origin that have [[myth]]ical status.<ref name="MGME19-20"/> Copyists also changed chronicles in creative copying, making corrections or in updating or continuing a chronicle with information not available to the original chronicler.<ref name="MGME19-20"/>  Determining the reliability of particular chronicles is important to [[historian]]s.<ref name="MGME19-20"/>

Many [[newspaper]]s and other [[periodical literature]] have adopted "chronicle" as part of their name.

The Chronicles compiled in large cities were arranged in like manner, with the years reckoned according to the annual succession of chief magistrates."

Scholars categorize the genre of chronicle into two subgroups: live chronicles, and dead chronicles. A ''dead'' chronicle is one where the author assembles a list of events up to the time of their writing, but does not record further events as they occur. A ''live'' chronicle is where one or more authors add to a chronicle in a regular fashion, recording contemporary events shortly after they occur. Because of the immediacy of the information, historians tend to value live chronicles, such as [[annals]], over dead ones.{{cn|date=October 2024}}

The term often refers to a book written by a chronicler in the Middle Ages describing historical events in a country, or the lives of a nobleman or a clergyman, although it is also applied to a record of public events. The earliest medieval chronicle to combine both retrospective (''dead'') and contemporary (''live'') entries, is the [[Chronicle of Ireland]], which spans the years 431 to 911.<ref>{{cite journal |first=Roy |last=Flechner |title=The Chronicle of Ireland: then and now |journal=Early Medieval Europe |volume=21 |issue=4 |year=2013 |pages=422–454 |url=http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/emed.12025/abstract |doi=10.1111/emed.12025 |url-access=subscription }}</ref>

Chronicles are the predecessors of modern "[[time line]]s" rather than analytical histories. They represent accounts, in prose or verse, of local or distant events over a considerable period of time, both the lifetime of the individual chronicler and often those of several subsequent [[continuator]]s. If the chronicles deal with events year by year, they are often called [[annal]]s. Unlike the modern historian, most chroniclers tended to take their information as they found it, and made little attempt to separate fact from legend. The point of view of most chroniclers is highly localised, to the extent that many anonymous chroniclers can be sited in individual [[abbey]]s.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal |last1=Kuijpers |first1=Erika |last2=Lenarduzzi |first2=Carolina |last3=Pollmann |first3=Judith |last4=Dekker |first4=Theo |last5=Lassche |first5=Alie |date=2024 |title=Profiling local chroniclers in the early modern Low Countries |url=https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/urban-history/article/profiling-local-chroniclers-in-the-early-modern-low-countries/F9A0CE687017280D09433D596190A7AE |journal=Urban History |language=en |pages=1–26 |doi=10.1017/S0963926824000531 |issn=0963-9268}}</ref>

It is impossible to say how many chronicles exist, as the many ambiguities in the definition of the genre make it impossible to draw clear distinctions of what should or should not be included. However, the ''[[Encyclopedia of the Medieval Chronicle]]'' lists some 2,500 items written between 300 and 1500 AD.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Pollmann |first=Judith |date=2016 |title=Archiving the Present and Chronicling for the Future in Early Modern Europe |url=https://academic.oup.com/past/article/230/suppl_11/231/2884264?login=false |journal=Past & Present |issue=Supplement 11 |pages=231–252 |doi=10.1093/pastj/gtw029 |issn=0031-2746}}</ref>

==Citation of entries==
Entries in chronicles are often cited using the abbreviation ''s.a.'', meaning ''sub anno'' (under the year), according to the year under which they are listed. For example, "''ASC'' MS A, s.a. 855" means the entry for the year 855 in manuscript A of the ''Anglo-Saxon Chronicle''. The same event may be recorded under a different year in another manuscript of the chronicle, and may be cited for example as "''ASC'' MS D, s.a. 857".

==English chronicles==
The most important [[List of English chronicles|English chronicles]] are the ''[[Anglo-Saxon Chronicle]]'', started under the patronage of King Alfred in the 9th century and continued until the 12th century, and the ''Chronicles of England, Scotland and Ireland'' (1577–87) by [[Raphael Holinshed]] and other writers; the latter documents were important sources of materials for Elizabethan drama.<ref>'A Glossary of Literary Terms' – M.H. Abrams</ref> Later 16th-century Scottish chronicles, written after the [[Scottish Reformation|Reformation]], shape history according to Catholic or Protestant viewpoints.

==Cronista==
A '''cronista''' is a term for a historical chronicler, a role that held historical significance in the [[Middle Ages|European Middle Ages]]. Until the European [[Age of Enlightenment|Enlightenment]], the occupation was largely equivalent to that of a historian, describing events chronologically that were of note in a given country or region. As such, it was often an official governmental position rather than an independent practice. The appointment of the official chronicler often favored individuals who had distinguished themselves by their efforts to study, investigate and disseminate [[population]]-related issues. The position was granted on a local level based on the mutual agreements of a city council in plenary meetings. Often, the occupation was honorary, unpaid, and stationed for life. In modern usage, the term usually refers to a type of [[journalist]] who writes chronicles as a form of [[journalism]] or non-professional historical documentation.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Dadson|first=Trevor J.|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8UW-D822uBMC&q=Cronista+spain&pg=PA51|title=The Genoese in Spain: Gabriel Bocángel Y Unzueta, 1603-1658 : a Biography|date=1983|publisher=Tamesis|isbn=978-0-7293-0161-9|language=es}}</ref>

===Cronista in the Middle Ages===
Before the development of modern journalism and the systematization of chronicles as a journalistic genre, cronista were tasked with narrating chronological events considered worthy of remembrance that were recorded year by year. Unlike writers who created [[Epic Poetry|epic poems]] regarding living figures, cronista recorded historical events in the lives of individuals in an ostensibly truthful and reality-oriented way.<ref name=":0" />

Even from the time of early Christian historiography, cronistas were clearly expected to place human history in the context of a linear progression, starting with the creation of man until the [[Second Coming|second coming of Christ]], as prophesied in [[The Bible|biblical texts]].<ref>Richard W. Burgess, Studies in Eusebian and post-Eusebian Chronography, Stuttgart (1999).</ref>
