f Observations on the Reception of the Novel about Alexander the Great in Medieval Orthodox Slavonic Literature

The article presents the main results of a broader research on the reception of the romance about Alexander the Great in old Slavonic orthodox literature. There are two main translations of the Book of Alexander the Great in the orthodox Slavonic tradition - the Chronography Alexandria, composed probably around the tenth or eleventh centuries in the first Bulgarian kingdom and the so-called Serbian Alexandria from about the thirteenth or fourteenth centuries. The Chronography Alexandria is incorporated only to the historical compilations, whereas the Serbian Alexandria appears as a new version of the “romance” genre in the orthodox Slavonic literature and is copied in the miscellanea of mixed contents.
