It was immensely popular in the Middle Ages, and was passed on in numerous translations and adaptations. The ancient hero’s adventurous life story is indeed considered the most widely-read and adapted secular book of world literature before Gutenberg began printing books, even more popular than the Arthurian Romance and the legend of the Trojan War. The Romance of Alexander<\/em> is among the most beautiful medieval illuminated manuscripts of this epic.

He was the ‘perfect knight’, the embodiment of all knightly virtues, and those who emulated him gained great prestige. The epic of Alexander’s adventurous exploits did not only satisfy its readers’ desire for exciting entertainment, presenting the king as a role model; it was also judged suitable for the education of young princes. In similar vein, this copy of the Romance of Alexander<\/em> could have been intended for a youthful recipient. This is suggested not only by the great number of miniatures and the convenient size but also by the importance attached to the teacher-disciple relationship between Alexander and Aristotle.

The earliest surviving marks of ownership are found on the front flyleaf (fol. Ir). It bears the distinct handwritten ‘HR’ monogram, which stands for ‘Henricus Rex’, clearly referring to King Henry VIII of England. The Romance of Alexander<\/em> might already have been part of his father’s library at Richmond Palace. In 1542 the manuscript was listed in the inventory of the Upper Library at Westminster. In 1757 all volumes of the Old Royal Library, the Romance of Alexander<\/em> included, were donated by King George II to the newly founded British Museum; its library department gave rise to the British Library.

The painter, today named after this work “the Master of the Royal Alexander”, used his commission to illustrate the many episodes from the Romance of Alexander<\/em> as an opportunity to express his creative talents in wonderfully vibrant miniatures. The amazingly naturalistic rendering of the horses and the elaborately executed precious garments and armour bear witness to his artistic skills. His figures display both carefully modelled individual facial features and vivid gestures. He obviously had a keen sense of drama and a rich imagination.

After having travelled through the sky (fol. 76v), in his preoccupation with the complete conquest of the world, Alexander resolves to explore the bottom of the sea to discover its ‘marvels.’ In a barrel made of glass and with lamps placed inside, he goes down to the seabed. He has taken with him a cat and a cockerel: the cockerel to tell him the time, and the cat to purify the air in the barrel. Alexander is depicted in a transparent barrel, watching all sorts of different fish, while a woman wearing a crown, Alexander’s unfaithful mistress, seems to be about to cut the rope by which the barrel is attached to the boat on the surface.

Each initial continues into the margin with a generous decoration of fine golden trefoil leaves surrounding the miniature.
\nThe miniatures depict various mythical creatures and strange peoples which Alexander and his army meet on their way to the East: serpent monsters, Cynocephali, Cyclopes, Blemmyes, and horse-lions. These scenes are followed by the burial of Alexander’s horse Bucephalus, the building of a city, some elephants offered as a gift, and the prophetic birds at the palace of Xerxes.

With Utmost Care<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\nAfter photographs of the original manuscript are taken on the premises, the corresponding digital data are processed. Subsequently, all the pages are printed and compared with the original Romance of Alexander<\/em> in the British Library. The lithographer pays special attention to errors of colour shading and the faithful reproduction of gold and silver, since their application requires special printing processes. Print approval is only given after additional print runs for comparison and correction. Constant monitoring even at the printing press guarantees a qualitatively consistent print run. To emulate the lively varied appearance of the original, patinas are applied to the gold and silver parts.

He folds the printing sheets and assembles them in sections or gatherings. At the sewing frame the sections are attached to each other to form the book-block. The binder needs a steady hand for embroidering the headband with coloured threads. For the covers he selects appropriate calf skins to match the original.

It was immensely popular in the Middle Ages, and was passed on in numerous translations and adaptations. The ancient hero’s adventurous life story is indeed considered the most widely-read and adapted secular book of world literature before Gutenberg began printing books, even more popular than the Arthurian Romance and the legend of the Trojan War. The Romance of Alexander<\/em> is among the most beautiful medieval illuminated manuscripts of this epic. In medieval literature and numerous works of the visual arts, Alexander the Great was seen as a paragon of courtly culture. He was the ‘perfect knight’, the embodiment of all knightly virtues, and those who emulated him gained great prestige. The epic of Alexander’s adventurous exploits did not only satisfy its readers’ desire for exciting entertainment, presenting the king as a role model; it was also judged suitable for the education of young princes. In similar vein, this copy of the Romance of Alexander<\/em> could have been intended for a youthful recipient. This is suggested not only by the great number of miniatures and the convenient size but also by the importance attached to the teacher-disciple relationship between Alexander and Aristotle. The question remains open as to who commissioned the Romance of Alexander<\/em>. The earliest surviving marks of ownership are found on the front flyleaf (fol. Ir). It bears the distinct handwritten ‘HR’ monogram, which stands for ‘Henricus Rex’, clearly referring to King Henry VIII of England. The Romance of Alexander<\/em> might already have been part of his father’s library at Richmond Palace. In 1542 the manuscript was listed in the inventory of the Upper Library at Westminster. In 1757 all volumes of the Old Royal Library, the Romance of Alexander<\/em> included, were donated by King George II to the newly founded British Museum; its library department gave rise to the British Library.

Subsequently, all the pages are printed and compared with the original Romance of Alexander<\/em> in the British Library. The lithographer pays special attention to errors of colour shading and the faithful reproduction of gold and silver, since their application requires special printing processes. Print approval is only given after additional print runs for comparison and correction. Constant monitoring even at the printing press guarantees a qualitatively consistent print run. To emulate the lively varied appearance of the original, patinas are applied to the gold and silver parts. The facsimile bookbinder traditionally works with his hands. He folds the printing sheets and assembles them in sections or gatherings. At the sewing frame the sections are attached to each other to form the book-block. The binder needs a steady hand for embroidering the headband with coloured threads. For the covers he selects appropriate calf skins to match the original. Subsequently, he attaches the hand-cut leather to the book boards. The folds and bands are then shaped with a folding tool. Finally, gold tooling is applied to the front and back covers, the spine and the edges.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ column_padding_mobile=”on” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/quaternio.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/ALX_Heftlade.png” alt=”Pariser Alexanderroman, Heften der Lagen zum Buchblock an der Heftlade” title_text=”Pariser Alexanderroman, Heften der Lagen zum Buchblock an der Heftlade” show_bottom_space=”off” admin_label=”Bild – Herstellung 2a – Heftlade ALX” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_width=”1px” border_style=”solid” animation=”off” sticky=”on”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ column_padding_mobile=”on” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/quaternio.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/ALX_Leder_1.png” alt=”Pariser Alexanderroman, Bearbeitung der ledernen Einbanddecke mit dem Falzbein” title_text=”Pariser Alexanderroman, Bearbeitung der ledernen Einbanddecke mit dem Falzbein” show_bottom_space=”off” admin_label=”Bild – Herstellung 2b – Ledereinband ALX” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_width=”1px” border_style=”solid” animation=”off” sticky=”on”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row padding_mobile=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on” disabled_on=”on|on|” admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ column_padding_mobile=”on” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on”][et_pb_divider color=”#eaeaea” show_divider=”on” divider_weight=”1px” height=”5″ disabled_on=”on|on|off” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ hide_on_mobile=”on”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding=”||25px|” padding_mobile=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on” parallax_method_1=”off” admin_label=”row” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ column_padding_mobile=”on” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text – \u00dcberschrift und Sprungziel Doku-Mappe ALX EN” _builder_version=”3.0.96″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off”]<\/p>\n Pariser Alexanderroman<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding=”||35px|” padding_mobile=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on” parallax_method_1=”off” parallax_method_2=”off” admin_label=”row” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ column_padding_mobile=”on” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/quaternio.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/ALX_Dokumappe_700x420_neu_neu.png” alt=”Pariser Alexanderroman, Faksimilemappe zur Edition” title_text=”Pariser Alexanderroman, Faksimilemappe zur Edition” show_bottom_space=”off” align=”right” admin_label=”Bild – Doku-Mappe stimmungsvoll ALX” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” animation=”off” sticky=”on”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ column_padding_mobile=”on” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text – Doku-Mappe ALX EN” _builder_version=”3.0.96″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off”]The facsimile folder of the Romance of Alexander<\/em> provides a first-hand impression of this high-quality edition.

The painter, today named after this work “the Master of the Royal Alexander”, used his commission to illustrate the many episodes from the Romance of Alexander<\/em> as an opportunity to express his creative talents in wonderfully vibrant miniatures. The amazingly naturalistic rendering of the horses and the elaborately executed precious garments and armour bear witness to his artistic skills. His figures display both carefully modelled individual facial features and vivid gestures. He obviously had a keen sense of drama and a rich imagination.

After having travelled through the sky (fol. 76v), in his preoccupation with the complete conquest of the world, Alexander resolves to explore the bottom of the sea to discover its ‘marvels.’ In a barrel made of glass and with lamps placed inside, he goes down to the seabed. He has taken with him a cat and a cockerel: the cockerel to tell him the time, and the cat to purify the air in the barrel. Alexander is depicted in a transparent barrel, watching all sorts of different fish, while a woman wearing a crown, Alexander’s unfaithful mistress, seems to be about to cut the rope by which the barrel is attached to the boat on the surface.

\nThe miniatures depict various mythical creatures and strange peoples which Alexander and his army meet on their way to the East: serpent monsters, Cynocephali, Cyclopes, Blemmyes, and horse-lions. These scenes are followed by the burial of Alexander’s horse Bucephalus, the building of a city, some elephants offered as a gift, and the prophetic birds at the palace of Xerxes.
