I saggi qui riuniti, frutto di un convegno tenutosi a Parma per celebrare gli ottocento anni della nascita di Salimbene, toccano i principali e tradizionali nuclei di interesse della Cronica: lo studio del contesto storico viene arricchito da indagini sul profetismo salimbeniano, mentre l'indagine sulle fonti e sugli auctores alterna analisi filologica e letteraria. Un gruppo di interventi, dedicato alla Parma di Salimbene, approfondisce il quadro sociale, artistico e urbanistico della città al tempo del cronista; chiude la biografia intellettuale del parmigiano Giuseppe Tonna, traduttore di Salimbene. Il volume comprende inoltre un'Appendice che aggiorna i dati del codice diplomatico salimbeniano.
