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.
