Reviews

This comprehensive volume of illustrated medieval Alexander-Books forms a solid foundation for the study of the illustrated Alexander legend ... .

Josefa Weitzmann-Fiedler, Speculum, Vol. 50, No. 2 (Apr., 1975), pp. 349-351.

A single reviewer will probably not recognize all the difficulties overcome in the production of this splendid volume ... Among many feats of organization of the author, D. J. A. Ross, one will admire most his successful presentation, not of a score or so, but of over four hundred illustrations, each requiring generally a three-line caption and matching entries in indexes, one iconographical, and in most cases a technical analysis in the main text of the volume. The standard of accuracy in all these matters is exemplary.
