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*.
