The Greek "Alexander's Novel" was originally written sometime between the 3rd century BC. and 3rd AD century and is a fantastic narrative of the life and achievements of Alexander the Great. The text was extremely popular during the Middle Ages, both in the West and in the Byzantine Empire, and was translated into the major languages of the time. Eighteen manuscripts with the Greek text are preserved, of which the only luxury edition is Codex 5 of the Greek Institute of Venice, a luxurious manuscript containing 193 sheets and 250 images in the majority of the pages. The book is large in size, with pictures (average size 220×160 mm) painted in vivid colors and decorated with gold leaf. (…) Each image is accompanied by an explanatory caption written in red ink so that one can follow the story from the pictures without having to read the text of the novel. The visual details and scenery are Byzantine, thus introducing history into a Byzantine setting and giving Alexander the Byzantine emperor form. For the first time the luxurious manuscript of the Greek Institute of Venice is presented here in faithful reproduction (…) with a translation of the captions into English and Modern Greek.
