Editing Johannes Aventinus (section)

==''Annals of Bavaria''==
The ''Annals'', which are in seven volumes, deal with the history of Bavaria in conjunction with general history from the earliest times to 1460, and the author shows sympathy for the Empire in its struggle with the Papacy. He took pains with his work, and to some degree anticipated the modern historiography.<ref name="eb1911"/> Another result of his nonconformity was that the ''Annals'' were not published until 1554.<ref name="cathency"/> Many passages were omitted in this Ingolstadt edition, as they reflected on the Roman Catholics.<ref name="eb1911"/>

A more complete edition was published at Basel in 1580 by Nicholas Cisner. Aventinus, who has been called the "Bavarian Herodotus," wrote other books of lesser importance, and a complete edition of his works was published at Munich (1881–1886).<ref name="eb1911"/>

In his ''Annals'', Aventinus preserved some of the text of the now lost 8th-century chronicle of [[Creontius]].

===Teutonic genealogy===
In his ''Chronik'', Aventinus  fabricated a  succession of Teutonic kings stretching back to the [[Deluge myth|Great Flood]], ruling over vast swathes of Germany and surrounding regions until the 1st century BC, and involving themselves in numerous events from Biblical and  Classical history.

These rulers and their exploits are mostly fictitious, though some are derived from mythological, legendary or historical figures. Examples of the latter are Boiger, Kels II and Teutenbuecher, whose joint reign is given as 127–100 BC, and who are based on King Boiorix of the Cimbri, the unnamed king of the Ambrones, and King Teutobod of the Teutons.
