GENCHRON Chronicles Dataset

The GENCHRON Chronicles Dataset contains structured character data extracted from fourteen late antique and early medieval Latin world chronicles, spanning from Eusebius to Bede. Each file corresponds to a specific chronicle. The dataset records every individual and group appearing in each chronicle and captures character attributes including gender, status, life stage, and relationships between characters. A consistent data model has been applied across all files. Data was collected through close reading of up-to-date critical editions of Latin texts and stored in MS Excel. No generative AI tools were used in the creation or analysis of the dataset. Users should consult the accompanying README file for full methodological details and breakdown of the data model before using the dataset.
