The Chronicle by Marcellinus was intended as a sequel to its predecessor Jerome but demonstrates marked differences concerning the underlying historiographic and narrative ideas. The text is distinctly orthodox and emphasizes both the history of salvation and pronounced panegyrics. In his praefatio, Marcellinus voices a clearly individual concept. The summa brevitas of the chronicle is substituted by long passages and the ‘chronological present tense’ by the tenses of historical narrative. Marcellinus carefully chooses ideologically striking (hitherto unnoticed) quotations both from classical authors and the Old Testament. These intertextual signals underline the author´s interpretation of the historical facts.

Die Chronik des Marcellinus Comes: Text, Praetext und Intertext
Marcellinus 的 Chronicle 旨在作为其前身 Jerome 的续集,但在潜在的史学和叙事思想方面表现出显着差异。文本明显是正统的,强调救赎的历史和明显的赞美诗。在他的praefatio 中,Marcellinus 表达了一个清晰的个人概念。该总结brevitas纪事的是由长的通道通过历史叙述的时态的“时间现在时”取代。Marcellinus 仔细地选择了古典作者和旧约中在意识形态上引人注目(迄今为止未被注意)的引文。这些互文信号强调了作者对历史事实的解释。
