The Cronica universalis by Galvaneus Flamma is unfinished: out of the about fifteen books originally planned (from the Creation to Azzone Visconti), we have only the first three and part of the fourth (with the events up to the reign of Joash, eleventh king of Judah). Aim of this edition is to make the text available to scholars, even without a source apparatus and a perpetual commentary, in a rigorously verified form.
