Book Description
Alexander and Dindimus is an anonymous alliterative poem which tells the fictitious epistolary exchange between Alexander the Great and Dindimus, king of the Bragmans. It is acknowledged to be one of the earliest poems belonging to the Alliterative Revival. Derived from the Historia de Preliis Alexandri Magni, its sole witness is extant in Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Bodley 264, a lavishly illustrated miscellany containing French texts dealing with the Alexander legend. The manuscript is one of the clearest examples of multilingual codices that were produced and circulated in England in the late Middle Ages. It is probable that the compiler conceived Alexander and Dindimus as a moral and edifying complement to the French chivalric romances present in the first part of the manuscript. The introduction includes an up-to-date study of the text, with a focus on its codicological, linguistic and metrical features. In particular, it explores relationships between the text of 'Alexander and Dindimus' and the nine accompanying illustrations (which are reproduced in the edited text). It includes also an analysis of the Latin source for the text. The edition is supported by a commentary and glossary.

Excerpt from Alexander and Dindimus, or the Letters of Alexander to Dindimus, King of the Brahmans, With the Replies of Dindimus: Being a Second Fragment of the Alliterative Romance of Alisaunder; Translated From the Latin, About A. D. 1340-50 The first half of this note, down to ryme, is printed in Warton's Hist. Of Eng. Poetry, ii. 103, ed. 1840. The whole note appears, with four errors, in Weber's Metrical Romances, i. Mi; and again, with the same four errors and six more, at p. Iv of Mr. Stevenson's edition. And this plainly shews that the story runs on without any break.
