ROMANCES.
Alexander. For a summary of the growth of the saga of Alexander, and
especially of the work of Lambert li Tort (the Crooked) of Chateaudun,
and Alexandre de Bernay or de Paris, see Ten Brink, Hist. of Eng. Litu,
Eng. trans. I. The first form of the Alexander legend is found in the
Greek Pseudo-Kallisthenes, to which reference has already been made
(see p. 135). Its Latin forms, by means of Julius Valerius and the
archpriest Leo, found their way to the west, and Lambert's and Alexandre
de Bernay's work constitute the great redaction of the story for western
readers and imitators. See Li romans d'Alixandre, par Lambert li
Tors et Alexandre de Bernay, ed. Michelant, H. , Stuttgart, 1846. In
England, the adaptation by Thomas or Eustace of Kent (Roman de
toute chevalerie) led the way to the alliterative romance of King
Alisaunder. For this last, our immediate concern, see MSS Laud,
Lincoln's Inn and Auch. frag. and Weber's collection. See also the
alliterative romance of Alexander and Dindimus, E. E. T. S. Extra
Series, XXXI, ed. Skeat, W. W. ; Wars of Alexander, Roxburghe Club,
1849, ed. Stevenson; E. E. T. S. Extra Series, XLVII, ed. Skeat; The
Buik of the most noble and vailzeand Conquerour, Alexander the Great,
Bannatyne Club, 1834. Cf. Weber I, pp. lxxiii, lxxxvii, Ward,
