Koroleva, Elena. "Écrire l’histoire universelle au Moyen Âge : alexandre le Grand et l'histoire de la Macédoine dans les chroniques du Nord de la France (XIIIè-XVè siècles)." Thesis, Lille, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018LIL3H050.
Full textThe present study examines the life of Alexander the Great as it is told in three universal chronicles, the Chronique dite de Baudoin d'Avesnes, written by an anonymous historian between 1278 and 1281, and two versions of the Fleur des histoires, composed in 1440s and in 1460s, respectively, by Jean mansel, a functionary at the Burgundian court. The three texts have a common geographical provenance and were read by the same readers ; furthermore, Mansel borrowed extensively from his predecessor to create the two versions of his chronicle. Despite evidence, of their wide readership in the Middle Ages, these texts remain largely unknown to modern researchers. The shared genre model, geographical and intellectual connections between these chronicles, on the one hand, and their paradoxical status of once well-known and now nearly forgotten texts, on the other, have prompted the decision to study them together. On crucial link between these works is the prominence their authors give to Alexander the Great and the variety of sources they use to tell his story, ranging from universal chronicles of the late Antiquity, such as Orosius' Historiae, to courtly romances such as Jacques de Longuyon' Voeux du paon. Our thesis comprises firstly, a study of the manuscript tradition of the three texts, with an emphasis on the role authors of the chronicles, their patrons and readers played in the creation and dissemination of various textual versions, followed by an analysis of the strategies employed by the authors to rewrite the story of Alexander's life in order to integrate it in the continuum of universal history and, finally, an examination of the roles assigned to the Macedonian king in the history of the humanity. The appendices contain an edition of the prologues and of the three accounts of Alexander's life
Sempéré, Christine. "La recension epsilon du Roman d'Alexandre, traduction et commentaire : L'écriture infinie, ou le " roman " d'un mythe." Montpellier 3, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005MON30050.
Full textThis thesis proposes a translation which is annotated and meant to be faithful to the spirit of the text, as well as a commentary of the Epsilon Recension written by an anonymous Christian in the eighth century. The first part places the text in the history of the Alexander Romance from the start, up to the third century A. D. , as far as its up-to-date developments in the Greek language : it seems that this writing is the most intertextual of the Greek accounts, including in particular traditions from the Old and New Testaments, as well as an apocalypse of Syriac origin. The second part focuses on the features of the Epsilon Recension first through the composite character of its language and shows how the protean work of the Alexander Romance adjusted itself to the political and religious backgrounds of Byzantium. The third part is a literary study which points out the way the Epsilon text, partaking of different literary genres, changes Alexander into a figure who, more than a national hero, becomes the prototype of human experience that only death can stop. The character of the king of Macedonia then gets a universal dimension, so anxious was he to be part of a lineage, as through the variety of countries and wonders he saw, the ultimate aim being the quest for identity : with an incursion into the unknown world, it is the mystery of the self to the world which is meant to be discovered. So, the example of the Epsilon Recension shows how, from historic data, but above all from the imaginings of a society which wants heroes, the change from a legendary biography to the myth of Alexander occurs
Lagarde, Laetitia. "Louis XIV au miroir d'Alexandre le Grand." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Sorbonne université, 2025. http://www.theses.fr/2025SORUL004.
Full textSince the end of the Renaissance, the writing of history in Europe had involved an obligatory figure, that of comparison or, in other words, that of the imaginary world of parallel times. Over the years, comparisons between “the right brain” and “the left brain” have multiplied. Louis XIV's supporters, in particular, set out to make Alexander the Great a model for the monarch. Indeed, the Macedonian was a very fashionable figure in France from the 1650s onwards, thanks to Vaugelas'translations of Quinte-Curce. What's more, his many different facets, taken from the Lives of the Ancients by Quinte-Curce and Plutarch, but also from the many rewritings of Alexander's deeds, are sufficiently malleable to adapt to the modern era and provide material for the praise of the monarch. Our aim is to show how royal propaganda, based on the figure of the Macedonian, combines historical truth and idealized fantasy, in order to disseminate a controlled royal image, strengthen the foundations of absolute monarchy and justify the sovereign's warlike ventures. Insofar as the parallel between the French king and the Alexandrian sovereign went back at least to the reign of Louis XIII (1610-1643), if not to that of Henri IV (1589-1610) (even if Alexander was not yet the preferred antique figure), we have extended the scope of our corpus from the beginning of Henri IV's reign to the end of the 1670s, when Louis XIV seemed no longer to want to use his stooge. We will explore the link between history and fiction through a variety of works: translations or adaptations of ancient historians, panegyrics and occasional plays, plays, ballets, novels, poetry, moral and political treatises, not forgetting iconographic sources (painting, sculpture, glyptics, etc.). We wanted to articulate the notions of model and parallel by following the different moments of the reign, against the backdrop of the quarrel between “the right brain” and “the left brain” and the advent of a new conception of History. While Louis XIV, at the dawn of his personal power, was still imitating the Ancients, and found in Alexander a model to emulate, the 1660s saw a relative superiority of the French sovereign. The modern princely pupil became Alexander's imitator, until he was able to surpass him and become a model in his own right. The modern ended up surpassing the ancient, in a reversal of the parallel and its logic of exemplarity

Full textIn order to research the heritage of the cult to the Seleucid and Attalid sovereigns among the Romans of the late republic, we have first described the very mechanism that brought to the worship of human beings. Regarding the Romans and their king’s divine status, we must notice that no treaty about the Hellenistic monarchies has been entirely kept. Lacking any completely preserved theoretical treaty, we are mostly informed by the remaining official iconography, especially the numismatic and glyptic cultures, as well as the decrees of which were preserved an epigraphic trace, showing us the royal ideology adopted by a great part of the Romans of Asia. Therefore, we will only discuss here the status of the Romans of Asia, in particular of the Great Generals who followed the Seleucids and Attalids. Various sources of inspiration influenced them, especially the worships and cults of the Romans, and the use of the sacred potential of Alexander-the-Great, which legitimized their absolute charismatic power. Furthermore, we will insist on the religious aspect of this phenomenon, as modern historians and authors usually only evoke the political aspect and observe it more as a governing media. Among other things, we will study the impact of this kind of cult on the mid-Asian inhabitants, and we will try to recreate in a precise way the religious mentality of the Greek cultured community, which deified even simple mortals. In fact, in Asia, some Romans and Imperators were raised above humanity, inheriting the cult to the Seleucids and Attalids. Honored as superior powers, some famous personalities could be venerated, as the influent roman culture and the oriental beliefs admitted the divine nature of the rulers

Full textAmongst warriors, the hetairoi are a group of men around a leader, with the main purpose of serving him. In Homeric poems, the hetairos may either be a warrior setting out with his king or chief, or a companion remaining at the oikos and taking care of his property during his absence. In Macedonia, the hetairoi are at once the men forming the Macedonian cavalry and the hegemons forming the king’s staff. The hetairoi fight alongside their leader, confer with him, and share his meals. Some are his close friends, where there are stronger affinities or personal friendship ; age usually accounts for these closer relationships. Thus many of the principal hetairoi of a chief are men of his own age group, and therefore grew up with him.The notion of hetairos refers to values such as courage and loyalty, and therefore to the heroic ideal. Thus, the strength of such a community lies in respect for these values, mutual support, and bonds of friendship but also in social practices such as gift-and-counter-gift exchanges.However, this ideal, when taken to extremes, becomes hybris, excess, and turns the valiant hetairoi into arrogant men, caring no more for their leader, but for themselves. As a result, such hetairoi come to be a danger to the rest of the community, or to the king, who is then compelled to wish for, and sometimes even to contrive their death

Full textLivy's work focuses on the histoty of Rome, with the hellenized South of Italy remaining in the background. However, his narrative bears witness ti early contacts between Rome and Magnaa Graecia. From a lexicographical viwpoint, this is documented by Livy's use of the word "Italia". By Augustus'time, the word refers to the whole penisula, as politically unified and divided into regions. But the name Italia, borrowed from the Greek, originally used to designate merely thre territory where Greek settlements were established: in Livy's narrative, the word is polemicaly used in the sense by Rome's foes at the time of the conquest of Italy and the Punic Wars. Magna Graecia is maimly featured in the account of the conquest of Central and Southern Italy in the IVth century BC: it stands as a third party in Rome's struggle against Samnites. .
Santoni, François. "La réception de l’image d’Alexandre par l’aristocratie romaine, des origines au principat d’Auguste." Thesis, Corte, 2021. http://www.theses.fr/2021CORT0011.
Full textThis thesis aims at apprehending the reception of the image of Alexander III of Macedonia by the Roman aristocracy, over a period going from the origins of the question to the principate of Augustus. The challenge is therfore to propose new conclusions concerning the reception of Alexander by certain characters, but also to examine the relationship to Alexander diachronically. As early as the third century BCE, the Romans implemented a discourse on Alexander, or rather discourses. They can present the Romans as victors of the Macedonian, denigrate him, or even try to recover his heritage. At the same time, a number of Romain aristocrats followed the Macedonian’s path through imitatio or aemulatio. The discourses relating to Alexander, whether they appear in literary or numismatic sources, can be addressed to a greek or hellenizing public as wall as to a roman one. It is therefore an effective political tool, used in the Vrbs as well as in the eastern provinces

Full textThe novel belongs to the many proses which were commissioned by the Burgundian duke Philip the Good. As the work refers to the historical context and to the ideology of the knighthood in the same time, the compiler treated the hero, whose the nobility had to follow the example, as a romantic archetype of the Burgundian chief the latter ordered Jehan Wauquelin to write les Faicts et conquestes in 1447, but he had ever composed one first version, now lost, for the count of Etampes, Jean II, about in 1440. We found in his text the main part of the medieval Alexander novels: not only the old French Alexander poem and the French prose translation of the Historia of prelils, but also long extracts from the Voeux du paon of Jacques de Longuyon, a free adaptation from the Venjance Alixandre of Jean le Nevelon and one passage of the Chroniques of Hainaut of Jacques de Guise, that Wauquelin translated himself in 1446. Thought he used lots of sources, Wauquelin succeded to write in a quite good prose a text which constitutes a whole, because the same subject, the life of Alexander the Great becoming the instrument of god in the world, is always pursued. The edition has been made from the following manuscripts: ms. 456 of the collection Dutuit in the Petit Palais (Paris), used as the source manuscript; ms. B. N. Fr. 707; ms. B. N. Fr. 1419; ms. B. N. Fr. 9342 used for variants. It is accompanied with a linguistic study about the Picard characteristics of the source manuscript, an index, a glossary, some critical notes and a iconographical list. Appendix: transcriptions from the Alexander Romance of Vasque de Lucene; accounts about Wauquelin's activity from 1440 to 1452; edition of extracts from the Voeux du paon

Full textThis work deals with the presence of Alexander the Great at the court of Burgundy under the Valois dukes (1363-1477). In the first part, I make a "panorama" of pieces of art (texts, manuscripts, tapestries) concerning Alexander in the ducal collections and I study Burgundian humanism. In the second part, I study the style and the iconography of the three main manuscripts of my corpus and I try to reconstitute the process of their realisation. The third part deals with the question of the dukes' identification to Alexander the Great and of the success of this figure in the nobility at the end of the 15th century

Voigt, Christiane Hélène. "Recherches sur la tradition arabe du Roman d'Alexandre." Thesis, Strasbourg, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014STRAC036.
Full textThis thesis deals with the issue of the Arabic translation of the Greek Alexander Romance by Pseudo-Callisthenes. By a philological study of the various Greek recensions (α, β (L, λ), ε, γ) as well as numerous Arabic sources it will be shown how the Alexander Romance, as a special example of the Graeco-Arabic translation movement, was rendered into Arabic. Apart from the written tradition, either in the form of a translation from the Greek or a paraphrase, the oral tradition based on Surah 18 of the Quran plays a central role. The influence of not just one but several recensions (α, β, ε, γ) of the Greek Alexander Romance can be traced in various Arabic sources. Especially the Byzantine β-recension must have played an important part in the East. The aim of the dissertation is to give a detailed overview of those chapters of the Alexander Romance which have been received in the Orient in order to illustrate how ancient Greek literature made its way into the Islamic world

Full textConsidered a historian who sacrifices his rigor and accuracy for the sake of rhetoric, Curtius Rufus enjoys, and with him his “fictionalized” history as well, a halftone reputation. Notwithstanding its shortcomings and a mixture of genres between history, moral and rhetoric, which are also typical of the entire Roman historiography, the Historiae Alexandri Magni are an interesting testimony of the representation of power in Rome in the first century A.D. Building on a rigorously constructed portrait, Quintus Curtius highlights the evolution of the Conqueror, subject to the temptations of the East, of fortune and its heroic models. The historian attempts to debunk the very nature of this wonderful East, the providential fortune claimed by Macedonian, and even language. The unbridled quest for glory pursued by the king and his dream of deification are here condemned: the East stands for a general inversion of norms and values, and fortune becomes an illusion leading to a feeling of impunity. By deconstructing Alexander's propaganda, Curtius then reveals another imaginary—his own—along with an ideology. Implicitly, it also proposes an ideal of power mainly based on balance and on the responsibility of the prince. The historian questions the relevance of a central myth of the Roman political imagination in the political context of the times, whose shadow looms over all ambitious men, starting with emperors or candidates for the Empire. His well crafted narrative is a call for a reflection on the actual exercise of power, its challenges and limitations
Nardelli, Michele. "Les histoires de Timagène d'Alexandrie : nouveaux fragments et nouvelles perspectives de recherche." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Rennes 2, 2024. http://www.theses.fr/2024REN20015.
Full textThis thesis delves into the study of Timagenes of Alexandria, a historian from the Augustan era, and his impact on Pompey Trogue’ Philippic Histories, Strabo's Geography, and Pliny the Elder's Natural History. By comparing ancient texts, latin and greek, we've discovered five new fragments of Timagenes' historical works, that merit inclusion in F. Jacoby’s collection. Thesefragments delve into Gaulish and Alpine history, a subject that Timagenes explored with particular interest through ethnography and ancient legends. Additionally, they reference the anabasis of Alexander, a topic Timagenes was familiar with through the works of Cleitarchus. The portrait of Timagenes that emerges from these fragments is that of an Alexandrian scholareager to impart Hellenistic knowledge to Roman cultural circles. It was in Rome that he undertook to teach Attic rhetoric and wrote his historical works, all while maintaining close ties with his hometown, Alexandria. From a historical perspective, Timagenes emerges as a worthy heir to the greek historiographical tradition, particularly that represented by Herodotus and Theopompus. Timagenes’ work exerted significant influence on the literary productions of the Augustan era, especially in the field of Gaulish and Alpine history: indeed, Pompey Trogue incorporated Timagenes’ accounts into the central books of his historical work (XXXXXII), while Strabo cited the historian in Book IV of his Geography

Full textThe Roman d'Alexandre en prose is an Old French adaptation of the Latin chronicle known as Historia de preliis Alexandri Magni I2 (Orosius-Rezension). It has been redacted by an unknown author at a certain point during the last three decades of the XIIIth century (around 1260-1299). This project consists of a philological and literary study of the romance and of its “neolachmannian” critical edition. The Old French Prose Alexander's tradition, including the eighteen manuscripts, the eleven printed editions and its indirect tradition, has been described in detail. The scrutiny of its witnesses' textual variants resulted in a hypothesis on its genealogical transmission, which has been represented in a stemma codicum. Moreover, through an analysis of its Latin original's manuscript tradition, we identified the exact branch the model of the French adaptation derived from. Based on those in-depth studies, verifiable and univocal editing principles have been established. The manuscript used for the graphic surface of the critical edition has been the purpose of a specific codicological and linguistic description. Besides, the main interpretative and philological issues have been extensively discussed in a point-by-point comment. The edition has been equipped with a critical apparatus and a glossary, as well. On the literary ground, the investigation of the passages unconnected to the Latin original revealed the specific way in which the author compiled secondary sources such as the verses Roman d'Alexandre, the Histoire Ancienne jusqu'à César, the Tresor, and original contributions
Chardonnens, Noémie. "L'autre du même : emprunts et répétitions dans le Roman de Perceforest." Thesis, Paris 3, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA030066.
Full textThe Roman de Perceforest, the longest known text from the Middle Ages, aims to describe the life of Arthur's pre-christian ancestors and knights, presenting them as descendants of Alexander the Great. Along the storytelling, a genuine poetics of external and internal repetition takes place: the Perceforest's authors multiply the references to previous texts belonging to several materials, integrating sometimes entire parts of other texts. Furthermore the narrative reproduces its own patterns and particular sequences in different places of the text. Throughout this research, we consider the influence of such repetition aesthetics on the literary genre definition, on its construction as well as on the reader's reception. In this dissertation, we explore a specific category of repetitions where pre-existing sequences are embedded in a narrative context that differs from the original context of occurrence, which we called emprunt(s). Reviewing the species of inter- and intra-textual recurrences occurring within the text, we reveal some overlooked aspects of the consistency, the specificity of the Perceforest and its author's idea of writing, striving to groundwork on general theory of «emprunts» that shall thereby be laid
Toro, Vial Miguel José de. "In exoticis historiis acutissimus. L'ancien Orient dans les chroniques universellesdu XIIe siècle." Thesis, Poitiers, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014POIT5007.
Full textDuring the "Renaissance of the 12th century" there was a flourishing of historical writing in Latin Europe. One the genres where this is most noticeable is in the universal chronicles. In them, the chroniclers outline the history of the world from Creation until their own period. Some of them are particularly rich in ancient history and they provide a lot of information of the ancient Orient. Why did monks secluded in their monasteries take interest on a history so far removed from them in time and space? This study considers two great sections of ancient oriental history as it was understood in the twelfth century: the empires surrounding the city of Babylon and the military deeds of Alexander the Great in Asia. Analyzing the treatment that the universal chronicles give them we can appreciate that the authors put these histories at the service of the problems of their own time, being guided increasingly by interests close to the secular world. At the same time they used methods of historiography, which significantly differentiated their works from biblical commentary and the "romances of antiquity"
