Description
1692 Alexander the Great Quintus Curtius Rufus Military Conquest Greece Vaugelas



“Nothing can be lasting when reason does not rule.”

― Quintus Curtius Rufus, Histories of Alexander the Great



This famous and important work by Quintus Curtius was inspired by the celebrated Macedonian ruler Alexander the Great and was written, more than likely, during the reign of Caligula in Rome. The style of Quintus Curtiuss writing was a directly in line with Livy, whose work on the people of Rome greatly influenced the writing of “Histories of Alexander the Great.” Curtius describes the strange and mysterious things that Alexander the Great encounters on his military expedition and does so with great historical acumen. This book, along with Livy and Tacitus, should always be considered part of the canon of ancient world texts.



This 1692 Lyon edition was published in French, collected and edited by Claude de Vaugelas.
