The work begins with the creation of the world and was apparently intended to follow world history until the poet's own day, but it was never finished. It breaks off during the account of the book of judges, and in the manuscripts it is continued with text from other chronicles, including (ironically) that of Rudolf, and also sometimes the Weltchronik of Jans der Enikel.
The work begins with the creation of the world and was meant to encompass all of history until the poet's own time. However, it was left unfinished and breaks off during the account of the book of judges. In the manuscripts, additional material is appended from other historical sources, including Rudolf's chronicle and the Weltchronik of Jans der Enikel.
