Le Roman d'Alexandre (ou La vie et les hauts faits d'Alexandre de Macedoine) est une extraordinaire epopee tissee de batailles et de complots, d'amours et de trahisons qui, sur les traces du plus grand conquerant de l'Antiquite, nous emmene de l'Egypte a la Perse et en Inde, aux confins du monde connu, dans un univers ou regne la magie et que peuplent animaux et hommes fabuleux. Attribue anciennement au Pseudo-Callisthene (ce neveu d'Aristote et compagnon d'Alexandre qui en fit son historiographe avant de le mettre a mort en 327 av. J.-C., quatre ans avant la mort d'Alexandre lui-meme), et d'une lente elaboration de la legende d'Alexandre du vivant du conquerant, ce texte descend d'un original qui fut plusieurs fois adapte, et qui connut des siecles diverses redactions. Le Roman d'Alexandre eut un succes enorme, d'ou des multiples: adaptation armenienne au Ve siecle, version syriaque au Vlle, adaptations persanes au Xlle s. version byzantine, enfin version latine, qui est a l'origine de la legende medievale d'Alexandre, a partir du XIIe siecle dans toute l'Europe. Le texte ici traduit (du grec) est le texte L tel qu'il edite en dernier lieu par H. Van Thiel a Darmstadt en 1974. Notre edition donne en appendice des episodes des autres versions du Roman d'Alexandre.

Survey of one of the most important surviving medieval manuscripts reveals much of its contemporary cultural, literary and social milieu. Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Bodley 264 is one of the most famous and most sumptuous illuminated manuscripts of the entire Middle Ages. Completed in 1344 in Tournai, in what is now Belgium, the manuscript preserves the fullest version of the interpolated Old French Roman d'Alexandre (Romance of Alexander the Great), and some of the most vivid illustrations of any medieval romance, ranking amongst the greatest achievements of the illuminator's art, its borders in particular offering a panorama of medieval society and imagination. A celebration of courtliness, a commemoration of urban chivalry, a mirror for the prince instructing in the arts of rule, and a meditation on crusade, it manifests the extraordinary richness and creativity of late medieval manuscript culture. This study examines the manuscript as a monumental expression of the beliefs and social practices of its day, placing it in its historical and artistic context; it also analyzes its later reception in England, where the addition of a Middle English Alexander poem and of Marco Polo's Voyages reflects changing concepts of language, historiography, and geography. Mark Cruse is Assistant Professor of French, School of International Letters and Cultures, Arizona State University.

The medieval reception of Alexander the Great inspired a complicated literary corpus not simply because it involved so many source-texts and languages, but because it incorporated such diverse perspectives on the conqueror. Beginning with a discussion of the evolution of this corpus, this book examines the manuscripts, readership, and historical contexts of the earliest surviving Alexander romance in England, Thomas de Kent's Anglo-Norman Roman de toute chevalerie. To shed light on the origins and treatment of this romance, Charles Russell Stone reads each manuscript within the contexts of its production, scribal interpolations, and patronage and readership in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. While Thomas recalls a range of attitudes towards his protagonist in the late twelfth century, when the recovery of classical histories and composition of vernacular romance informed conflicting attitudes towards Alexander's legacy, scribes and readers of his poem appropriated it as a continuing commentary on power, politics, and the relevance of the Alexander legend in their own time. Each of the three major manuscripts of Thomas's poem thus offers a unique text informed by unique literary and political contexts, which this book situates within the ongoing debate over Alexander's reception as a paradigm of imperial authority or failure in late medieval England.

Dans le dernier quart du XIIe siècle, le poète anglo-normand Thomas de Kent écrit, après plusieurs romans français, une nouvelle version de la vie du conquérant macédonien. L'écriture de cette oeuvre hybride, aux frontières de la chanson de geste, du roman d'aventures, du texte scientifique joue un rôle de pionnier dans l'évolution du roman médiéval.

The figure of Alexander the Great haunted the medieval imagination - as much as Arthur, as much as Charlemagne. His story was translated more often in medieval Europe than any work except the Gospels. Yet only small sections of the Alexander Romance have been translated into modern French, and Nigel Bryant's is the first translation into English. The Deeds and Conquests of Alexander the Great is Jehan Wauquelin's superb compendium, written for the Burgundian court in the mid-fifteenth century, which draws together all the key elements of the Alexandrian tradition.With great clarity and intelligence Wauquelin produced a redaction of all the major Alexander romances of the twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth centuries - including the verse Roman d'Alexandre, The Vows of the Peacock and La Venjance Alixandre - to tell the whole story of Alexander's miraculous birth and childhood, his conquests of Persia and India, his battles with fabulous beasts and outlandish peoples, his journeys in the sky and under the sea, his poisoning at Babylon and the vengeance taken by his son. This is an accomplished and exciting work by a notable writer at the Burgundian court who perfectly understood the appeal of the great conqueror to ambitious dukes intent upon extending their dominions. Nigel Bryant has translated five major Arthurian romances from medieval French, including Perceforest in which Alexander features prominently. He has also translated the fourteenth-century chronicles of Jean le Bel.
