Item description from seller

pp. 56-85, Bibliography pp. 306-348. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Pencil note on cover, otherwise very good and clean. - Contents: I Introduction: the texts, their filiation, dating and editions, p. 56; II Genre, general characteristics and authorship, p. 58: III Reception, p. 63; IV Alexanders last days: summary, p. 64; V Comparison with the sources, p. 73: VI Structure of the episode, p. 74; VII Medievalization and autochthonization as later and extrinsic elements of the specific character of the Balkan 'Volksbücher, p. 78; VIII Conclusions: Alexanders image in the last days episode in relation to the general characteristics of the 'Volksbuch , p. 81; Notes, p. 83. - From the text: Research on the Romanian Alexander romance, both on the text as a whole and on its various episodes, requires a thorough confrontation and comparison with its model, the Serbian Alexander romance. At the same time it raises the still open, if not insoluble, question of the filiation of the main Balkan versions as well as that of the establishment of definitive texts. This is because the Romanian romance is no more than a relatively accurate translation of and adaptation from a Serbian text, which, in its turn, seems to be an equally faithful adaptation from an original Byzantine model. According to most modern scholars, all the attested texts of the Romanian Alexander romance, both manuscript and printed, go back to one archetype, an anonymous prose translation of the end of the XVlth or the beginning of the XVllth century The prototype of this translation is lost and so is its direct Serbian source, which circulated in the Romanian countries at that time.
