The original work was attributed to a monk named Clarius by Dom Victor Cottron in 1650, but this is not now accepted.
The Chronicle's most recent editors suggest that the years 1100–1108 in the annals of his abbacy reflect his own account in his own hand.
These include royal and papal charters, excerpted letters, canons of church councils, liturgy and lists of rents and renders owed the abbey.
To modern historians, the Chronicle is chiefly interesting for the light it sheds on the composition of a monastic history.
It was copied late in the 12th century into the Pseudo-Godel Chronicle and in that guise was used as a source by the influential Robert of Auxerre.
