Historia fabulosa Alexandri Magni

Historia fabulosa Alexandri Magni, cuius versiones posteriores permultae nobis cognoscuntur, primum saeculo fere III p.C.n. Graece conscripta est. Recensiones Graecae quinque nobis servantur, quarum antiquissima (interdum nuncupatione "Pseudo-Callisthenes", interdum "α" indicata) in uno, posteriores ("β", "γ", "δ", "ε", "λ") in pluribus libris manu scriptis exstant. E quibus versiones in aliis linguis mox factae sunt, Armenice, Syriace (e qua Arabice et Aethiopice), Hebraice, Russice necnon Latine. Versio Latina prima a Iulio Valerio confecta est, e qua mox epitome Latina, deinde et recensiones mediaevales Francogallice, Anglice, Batavice et Theodisce scriptae sunt; e carmine Francogallico ab Alexandro Parisiensi facto nomen venit illorum versuum alexandrins, e syllabis duodecim structorum, quibus etiam hodie poëtae Francogallici utuntur. Versio Latina altera, a Leone archipresbytero titulo Nativitas et victoria Alexandri Magni confecta, non solum Latine sed et Theodisce et Suecice servatur. Recensio Latina anonyma eiusdem versionis, titulo Historia de preliis, progeniem numerosiorem reclamat, Theodisce, Francogallice, Anglice, Italiane, Bohemice, Polonice, Hungarice, Hebraice et Russice.

Partim e traditione fabulosa, partim ex aliis fontibus deducuntur Epitome Mettensis (cuius pars intitulatur Liber de morte Alexandri Magni) et Itinerarium Alexandri.
