Q. Curtius Rufus (1st century CE) is one of the most important
historians of Alexander the Great. However, existing editions in
use today are philologically unsatisfactory for a number of
reasons, and the aim of this work is to present a sounder text.
This edition is the first to pay adequate attention to the second
family of manuscripts, as well as placing the conjectures of the
respective philologists in their correct context.
