==Chronicle of the Morea==
The anonymous 14th century ''[[Chronicle of the Morea]]'' relates events of the [[Franks]]' establishment of [[feudalism]] in mainland Greece following the Fourth Crusade.  Despite its unreliability about historical events, the ''Chronicle'' is famous for its lively portrayal of life in the feudal community.  The language in Greek versions is notable as it reflects the rapid transition from Medieval to Modern Greek.  The original language of the Chronicle is disputed, but recent scholarship prefers the Greek version in MS ''Havniensis 57'' (14th&ndash;15th century, in [[Copenhagen]]). Other manuscripts include the Ms ''Parisinus graecus 2898'' (15th&ndash;16th century, at the {{Lang|fr|[[Bibliothèque nationale de France]]|italic=no}}, [[Paris]]).  The difference of about one century in the texts shows a considerable number of linguistic differences due to the rapid evolution of the Greek language.
