First edition published by the historian Nicolas Camusat (1575-1655), of the important and famous universal chronicle of Saint-Marien, covering the period from the creation of the world to 1211. this text is usually attributed to the chronicler Robert d'Auxerre (circa 1156-1202), canon at the abbey of Saint-Marien in Auxerre . Some give the authorship to Robert Abolant, monk in the same abbey. In any case, this chronicle remains one of the most important and valuable for the History of France under Philip Augustus, also offering information of great interest on the crusades, the affairs of the East, etc. The edition is dedicated to the bishop of Auxerre François de Donadieu (ca. 1559-1640).
