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.

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.

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.

Orality And Performance In Early French Romance written by Evelyn Birge Vitz and has been published by Boydell & Brewer this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1999 with Literary Criticism categories.
This book proposes a fundamental revision of the history of early French romance: it argues that oral and performed traditions were far more important in the development of romance than scholars have recognised. Starting with issues of orality and literacy, it is argued that the form in which romances were composed was not the invention of clerics but was, rather, an oral form. The second part of the book looks at performance, and shows that romances such as those of Chretien invited voiced presentation; moreover, they were frequently recited from memory, sung, and acted out in dramatic fashion. Romances can, and should, still be performed today.

In the Middle Ages, the life story of Alexander the Great was a well-traveled tale. Known in numerous versions, many of them derived from the ancient Greek Alexander Romance, it was told and re-told throughout Europe, India, the Middle East, and Central Asia. The essays collected in Alexander the Great in the Middle Ages examine these remarkable legends not merely as stories of conquest and discovery, but also as representations of otherness, migration, translation, cosmopolitanism, and diaspora. Alongside studies of the Alexander legend in medieval and early modern Latin, English, French, German, and Persian, Alexander the Great in the Middle Ages breaks new ground by examining rarer topics such as Hebrew Alexander romances, Coptic and Arabic Alexander materials, and early modern Malay versions of the Alexander legend. Brought together in this wide-ranging collection, these essays testify to the enduring fascination and transcultural adaptability of medieval stories about the extraordinary Macedonian leader.
