Summary/Abstract: Among the around 2,000 codices representing the Venetian chronicles written between the 11th and 18th centuries, we selected the chronicle ascribed to either Patriarch Giovanni Tiepolo and Agostino Agostini. The present paper focuses upon manuscript M 129 at Marciana National Library in Venice, but takes all the other codices into consideration, meaning those spread to the Library of Correr Civic Museum in Venice, Library of Querini-Stampalia Foundation in Venice, Austrian National Library in Vienna, National Library of Romania in Bucharest, Syracuse Library University, and so on. Beside the matters referring to paternity and dating, the paper makes an attempt to establish the sources and influences of this particular chronicle among the huge number of Venetian chronicles.
