Written sometime in the 1170s, Walter of Chatillon's Latin epic
on the life of Alexander the Great loomed as large on literary
horizons as the works on Jean de Meun, Dante, or Boccaccio. Within
a few decades of its composition, the poem had become a standard
text of the literary curriculum. Virtually all authors of the
thirteenth through fifteenth centuries knew the poem. And an
extraordinary two hundred surviving manuscripts, elaborately
annotated, attest both to the popularity of the Alexandreis and to
the care with which it was read by its medieval audience.
