About This Book

Il testo unisce un prologo di riflessione morale sulle vanità del potere con resoconti cronachistici: descrive una solenne incoronazione a Roma, le cerimonie, la processione e il soggiorno dell’imperatore fuori città, quindi rapporta vicende militari e politiche in Provenza, tra la presa notturna d’un castello da parte d’un nobile tornato dall’esilio e la reazione dei baroni che organizzano l’assedio. Tra dettagli cerimoniali e movimenti di truppe emergono osservazioni sulle relazioni tra autorità imperiale, principi stranieri e potere papale, nonché considerazioni sul declino o la corruzione delle signorie quando mancano virtù e giustizia.
