In the 6th century, a chronicler set out to recount “with complete truth” the events from the beginning of the world up to his own time. The result is the *Chronographia*, attributed to John Malalas. This work is of great relevance to modern scholarship for several reasons: First, the final books, which cover the period the author himself lived through, constitute an important source for the history of the 6th century. The chronicle also provides insights into aspects relevant to the history of culture and mentalities that cannot be gleaned from other extant sources—especially classical secular historiography. Finally, the text is of great value for questions concerning the origins and development of Christian historiography as well as, more generally, the Christian culture of remembrance in late antiquity. As part of the concluding conference of the Tübingen research project on the Commentary on Malalas’ Chronicle, the World Chronicle will be examined in the context of 6th-century historiography in order to synthesize and contextualize the focal points of previous conferences. The goal is to foster an interdisciplinary dialogue on the chronicle and its historical and intellectual context. The closing event thus serves to provide a framework for the project while simultaneously opening up space for future questions and research initiatives.
