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 –) - Tapa dura
Sinopsis
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.

Front board quarter-cloth and patterned paper, spine and rear board cloth, folio, 44 cm, xi, 105, [1] pp. : ills (some colour), maps. From the publisher's description: "This book reproduces in colour 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." From the foreword: "Alexander's life abounded in lessons of personal virtue, prowess in battle, magnanimity in victory, and insatiable ambition. The anonymous painters of the Getty's sumptuous manuscript carefully visualized these fantastic scenes, yet clothed them in familiar contemporary costume and placed them in the midst of contemporary decor. This book provides colour reproductions of each of these captivating miniatures and several of the text pages, together with an informative commentary by Scot McKendrick, Curator of Manuscripts at the British Library." The contents comprise: Foreword, by John Walsh; Map of the world of Alexander the Great; Alexander the Great: history, legend, and Curtius's Historiae Alexandri magni; Map of the Burgundian Netherlands; Vasco da Lucena's Les fais d'Alexandre le grant; The Getty Manuscript; Final assessment: From Fabula to historia; Plates: the miniatures and their subjects; Appendix 1. Summary description of the Getty Manuscript; Appendix 2. Surviving manuscripts of Vasco's translation; Appendix 3. Subjects of the large miniatures in the Getty, Bodmer, Jena, and Paris manuscripts. Gilt spine-titling a little rubbed, upper fore-edge corner of rear board slightly faded and strip near spine on rear board a little marked, otherwise Very Good in the publisher's slightly marked and scuffed cloth slipcase.
