The History of Alexander the Great: An Illuminated Manuscript of Vasco Da Lucena's French Translation of the Ancient Text by Quintus Curtius Rufus (Getty Publications –) - Hardcover
Inhaltsangabe
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.

Hardcover. Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. xi, [3] 105, [1] p. Illustrations (some in color). Maps. Suggestions for Further Reading Foreword by John Walsh. From Wikipedia: "Quintus Curtius Rufus was a Roman historian, probably of the 1st century, author of his only known and only surviving work, Historiae Alexandri Magni, "Histories of Alexander the Great, " or more fully Historiarum Alexandri Magni Macedonis Libri Qui Supersunt, " Apart from his name on the manuscripts, nothing else certain is known of him. This fact alone has led philologists to believe that he had another historical identity, to which, due to the accidents of time, the link has been broken. Meanwhile the identity of Quintus Curtius Rufus, historian, is maintained separately." Very good. No slipcase present. Minor wear to cover (small edge dings).
