Chronica seu originale regum et principum Poloniae is a Latin history of Poland written by Wincenty Kadłubek between 1190 and 1208 CE. The work was probably commissioned by Casimir II[disambiguation needed 
] of Poland. Consisting of four books, it describes Polish history.
Kadłubek included in his work many legendary and fabulous events, mainly concerning Polish antique deeds like battles with Julius Caesar as well as early medieval Poland (for example the story of Princess Wanda). He attempted to connect origins of Poland with the classical antiquity in order to prove its glorious roots. Such practices were not unusual in the Middle Ages, when many nations were searching for their ancient and mythological antecessors.
The first, second, and third books are composed as a classical dialogue, where the author positions himself as a witness of the conversation. The Chronica's use of this style is unique in medieval literature but was frequently used in antiquity.
