Where it came from
Published in 1896, this volume represents a significant milestone in the career of E. A. Wallis Budge, the renowned British Museum Egyptologist. It serves as the English translation to accompany the earlier Ethiopic text edition, providing scholars and the public with access to the Alexander Romance as preserved in Ethiopic tradition. The text is a translation of various manuscripts found in the British Museum and the Bibliothèque Nationale, reflecting the Victorian era’s intense academic interest in cataloging and interpreting non-Western literary traditions.
Budge aimed to make these legendary accounts of Alexander the Great accessible to a broader English-speaking audience, framing the narrative as a bridge between historical chronicle and mythical folklore. While Budge was a prolific and foundational figure in the development of Near Eastern studies, his work has faced retrospective scrutiny regarding his acquisition methods and scholarly rigor. Nevertheless, this specific publication remains a cornerstone for those studying the reception of the Alexander legend in the Christian East.
