Ross, D. J. A., Alexander Historiatus: A Guide to Medieval Illustrated Alexander Literature, Londres, The Warburg Institute, 1963, 128 pp.

Resum

A catalogue of all medieval Alexander texts which include illustrations. Divided into two sections -- works that are part of or derived from the romance of Pseudo-Callisthenes, and works that are derived from the historical tradition of Curtius and Plutarch. Ross includes two appendices: the first is a brief discussion of the evolution of the motif of the Nine Worthies in medieval literature, of which Alexander is one, and the second is a catalogue of medieval texts dealing with Alexander's predecessors or other texts that tangentially deal with Alexander.
