= "[Johann] Carion's Chronicles became an important work in Lutheran and more generally Protestant millenarian thought. From an original that was indeed by Carion, it was completely rewritten in its Latin version at the hands of Melanchthon, and others. With Joachim Camerarius, Melanchthon and other Lutheran humanist scholars changed what was a traditional chronicle into a Reformation narrative of the Middle Ages. After Melanchthon's death, Caspar Peucer continued to edit it." (source: Wikipedia).
