Chronicon terrae Prussiae

Chronicon terræ Prussiæ (Latin pronunciation: [krɔnɪkɔn tere prʊsie], lit.

[1] The manuscript is the first major chronicle of the Teutonic Order in Prussia and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, completed some 100 years after the conquest of the crusaders into the Baltic region.

It provides numerous chapters in the styles of religious visions, miracles, and hagiography, aimed at the glorification of the mission of the Order.

Peter takes no interest in domestic policy of the Order; he does not describe cities, trade, or colonization.

While narratives of events and battles are considered to be mostly reliable, the chronology is sometimes wrong and the ethnographic data is ideologically charged.
