In the 6th century, a chronicler set out to report "with complete truth" on the events from the beginning of the world to his own time. The result is the Chronographia, attributed to John Malalas. This work is highly relevant to modern research for several reasons: First, the last books, which deal with the period experienced by the author himself, are an important source for the history of the 6th century. The chronicle also provides insights into aspects relevant to cultural and intellectual history that cannot be gained from other surviving sources, especially classical secular historiography. Finally, the text is of great value for questions concerning the emergence and development of Christian historiography and, more generally, Christian memorial culture in late antiquity. As part of the final conference of the Tübingen research center on the commentary on Malalas' chronicle, the world chronicle will be examined in the context of 6th-century historiography in order to bring together and put into perspective the main topics of the previous conferences. The aim is to engage in an interdisciplinary dialogue on the chronicle and its contemporary and intellectual roots. The closing event thus serves to frame the project and at the same time opens up space for future questions and research projects.
