Questions for Discussion

• What are the implications of this ostensible “world” chronicle, only actually recording history in Northwest Europe?
• What roles do women play in this text?
• Why is this formatted as a scroll rather than a codex?
• How might this Chronique have been used by its fifteenth-century readers?
