The work covers the history of the world from creation to the time of Julius Caesar. It was often copied and later underwent a significant revision in Italy during the 14th century. Its influence reached the Renaissance. In later manuscripts, it was frequently paired with the Faits des Romains, which continued the history of the Roman Empire.
