With a prose translation close to the text and a detailed commentary, this work attempts to interpret the \u003cem\u003eAlexandreis\u003c\/em\u003e in its entirety and to make it accessible to a wider audience in addition to specialised scholars and students of Latin philology. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e In particular, the aim is to show that an understanding of the \u003cem\u003eAlexandreis\u003c\/em\u003e as a whole, in addition to its extraordinary complexity, is inextricably linked to an insight into the epic's multiple mirror-image framework structure. Based on Walter's central demand, implemented at the end of the fifth book, to find an Alexander-like leader for the fight against the Muslim enemies, questions that have been controversial in research up to now, such as the Christian author's moral evaluation of Alexander the Great or the significance of Aristotle's speech for the work as a whole, can be satisfactorily clarified. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMartin Lehmann\u003c\/strong\u003e, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, Germany. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1040\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.36 x 7.09 x 4.96 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 06, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47336758804729,"sku":"9783110795721","price":118.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/p_39M7_wkE9783110795721.webp?v=1769671090","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/alexandreis-lateinisch-deutsch-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
