Known through a great number of different versions, in a variety of languages, this text came to form the legendary image of the Macedonian ruler.

French description: Le Roman d’Alexandre raconte les hauts faits d’Alexandre le Grand, puisant pour ce faire tant aux ouvrages historiographiques qu’a la tradition populaire. Ce texte est connu au travers de nombreuses versions differentes, elaborees au fil du temps dans les langues les plus diverses. Elles ont peu a peu contribue a faconner l’image legendaire du souverain macedonien. Cet ouvrage a pour objectif d’offrir un acces aise a la premiere version latine connue de ce monument litteraire, traduction d’un original grec perdu, mise au compte d’un certain Julius Valerius par les manuscrits qui la transmettent. Une traduction en francais, precedee d’une introduction generale a l’oeuvre et a son auteur, permet de redecouvrir ce roman trop neglige; un appareil de notes, centre sur la langue et le style de l’auteur, met en evidence ses specificites lexicales et syntaxiques.
