The Alexandreis, the life of Alexander the Great in verse, was composed by Walter of Châtillon around the year 1182 at the court of William, Archbishop of Rheims, to whom the poem is dedicated and whose name (GUILLERMUS) is spelled out in acronym by the first initial of each book (on fol. 19 of the present manuscript, Book 3, which should begin with the letter [I], is mistakenly given the initial [Q]). The Alexandreis was a widely-used school-text, a use evidenced in the present volume by the extensive marginal and interlinear glossing.
