- Nota:
- Johannes Carion was a German astrologer, historian and mathematician.
Carion's Chronicles became an important work in Lutheran and more generally Protestant millenarian thought. From an original that was indeed penned by Carion, it was completely rewritten in its Latin version at the hands of Melanchthon, and others. With Joachim Camerarius, Melanchthon and other Lutheran humanist scholars the work changed from a traditional chronicle into a Reformation narrative of the Middle Ages. After Melanchthon's death, Caspar Peucer continued to edit it. Major features were the scheme of four monarchies taken from the Book of Daniel, extended by the medieval idea of translatio imperii; further there is a second Three Eras schematic, the third period of which will be co-extensive with the Roman Empire extended by the Holy Roman Empire (the fourth monarchy) which will last to 2000 AD.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Carion - Permalink:
