Gautier de Chatillon (ca. 1135-1200) passe en general pour le meilleur poete latin du moyen age. A cote d’une uvre lyrique riche et variee (Hymnes religieuses, chansons d’amour, pieces satiriques), il a compose vers 1180 a la demande de l’archeveque de Reims Guillaume aux Blanches Mains une epopee de style virgilen qui retrace la carriere fulgurante d’Alexandre le Grand, un heros tres populaire au XIIe siecle. Ce poeme en 10 livres de pres de 5500 vers, l’Alexandreide, a connu en son temps un succes formidable (plus de 200 manuscrits). On entreprend de traduire pour la premiere fois en francais moderne ce monument de la culture medievale, et d’en evaluer, dans une introduction detaillee, les enjeux historiques, litteraires et moraux.
