Publisher's Synopsis

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 numbers 6130 'political' (fifteen-syllable) verses. This volume presents a new critical edition of the 'Byzantine Alexander Poem' with an introduction and an extensive commentary on the text.
