This book reproduces in color all fourteen images from a
fifteenth-century manuscript, now part of the J. Paul Getty Museum
collection. One of the finest illuminated secular manuscripts
produced in the Netherlands during the period, the manuscript
features miniatures that illustrate important
episodes from the short life of the legendary Macedonian general.
Titled Les fais d'Alexandre le grant, the manuscript is itself a
translation of a text attributed to first-century Roman historian
Quintus Curtius Rufus, whose Latin text is one of our principal
literary sources for our knowledge of
Alexander. McKendrick's authoritative text places the Getty's
manuscript in its contexts as history and art and explains how the
text and illuminations have much to tell us as well about the
politics and aesthetics of the Burgundian Netherlands and the
development of secular culture in Western
Europe.
