Le Roman d'Alexandre raconte les hauts faits d'Alexandre le Grand, puisant pour ce faire tant aux ouvrages historiographiques qu'à la tradition populaire. Ce texte est connu au travers de nombreuses versions différentes, élaborées au fil du temps dans les langues les plus diverses. Elles ont peu à peu contribué à façonner l'image légendaire du souverain macédonien. Cet ouvrage a pour objectif d'offrir un accès aisé à la première version latine connue de ce monument littéraire, traduction d'un original grec perdu, mise au compte d'un certain Julius Valerius par les manuscrits qui la transmettent. Une traduction en français, précédée d'une introduction générale à l'oeuvre et à son auteur, permet de redécouvrir ce roman trop négligé ; un appareil de notes, centré sur la langue et le style de l'auteur, met en évidence ses spécificités lexicales et syntaxiques.

Among the many versions of the Alexander Romance originating from Alexandria (3rd century AD) the long Byzantine Alexander Poem takes a special place. It is transmitted in only one miscellaneous manuscript, Ms. Marcianus Graecus 408, and contains 6130 ‘political’ (fifteen-syllable) verses. This edition presents a new critical text of the Byzantine Alexander Poem with an introduction and an extensive commentary.

Brill’s Companion to the Reception of Alexander the Great offers a considerable range of topics, of interest to students and academics alike, in the long tradition of this subject’s significant impact, across a sometimes surprising and comprehensive variety of areas. Arguably no other historical figure has cast such a long shadow for so long a time. Every civilisation touched by the Macedonian Conqueror, along with many more that he never imagined, has scrambled to “own” some part of his legacy. This volume canvasses a comprehensive array of these receptions, beginning from Alexander’s own era and journeying up to the present, in order to come to grips with the impact left by this influential but elusive figure.
