This is the 4th volume of the series of Central European
Medieval Texts, Latin and English bilingual editions
of major historical documents.
Ever since Thomas's Historia Salonitana was first published
in 1666, it became a part of the corpus of European
medieval literature. Thomas' aim was to write a history
of the church of Split in order to prove that it was
legally and justly the heir of the metropolitan rights
of nearby Salona, an episcopal see from the 4th century.
His reports on the fourth and the fifth crusade and
on the Mongol invasion of 1241-2, are based on personal
experience or on eyewitness reports.
