Chronicon Paschale ("the Paschal Chronicle, also Chronicum Alexandrinum or Constantinopolitanum, or Fasti Siculi ) is the conventional name of a 7th-century Byzantine universal chronicle of the world. Its name comes from its system of Christian chronology based on the paschal cycle; its Greek author named it "Epitome of the ages from Adam the first man to the 20th year of the reign of the most August Heraclius." The Chronicon Paschale follows from earlier Byzantine chronicals. From 600 to 627, the last years of the Emperor Maurice, the reign of Phocas, and the first seventeen years of the reign of Heraclius, the author writes as a contemporary historian. Like many Byzantine chroniclers, the author of this popular account relates anecdotes, the physical descriptions of the chief personages, which at times are careful portraits, extraordinary events, such as earthquakes and the appearance of comets, seen from the point of view of church history, with which the chronological plan of the Bible was made to agree.
