Where it came from
Commissioned and edited by Sir Ernest Alfred Wallis Budge, a renowned keeper of Egyptian and Assyrian antiquities at the British Museum, this volume was published in 1896 to make the Ethiopic Alexander legend accessible to a wider scholarly audience. It serves as an authoritative compilation of various Ethiopic manuscripts held in the British Museum and the Bibliothèque Nationale, reflecting the Victorian era’s intense interest in Near Eastern philology and the expansion of the Alexander Romance tradition into diverse cultural literatures.
Budge aimed to provide both a reliable transcription of the Ethiopic texts and a fluid English translation, intending to bridge the gap between niche academic paleography and broader historical inquiry. The work is noted for its meticulous academic rigor and its role in demonstrating how the legendary life of Alexander the Great was adapted and moralized within the Christian traditions of Ethiopia, ultimately securing its place as a foundational text for scholars of Semitic studies and medieval literary history.
