“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 Curtius’s writing was 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 rare, early 18th-century edition was published in Paris and features the French translation and edits of Du Ryer. Curiously, Du Ryer edited this edition from another French edition of de Vaugelas.
