It contains a summary of Saxo’s Gesta Danorum, about one-fourth the size of the original.
It is thought to have been written by the same author as Chronica Jutensis.
As this is a summary, a large part of the original work is cut out, which some readers have found frustrating.
As the author is less interested in war and battles, stories dealing with such things are often cut heavily.
The original manuscript is lost, but it survives in four different handwritten copies, about a hundred years younger.
