Quintus Curtius Rufus. Quinte Curce de la Vie & des actions d’Alexandre le Grand. De la traduction De M. de Vaugelas avec les Supplemens de J. Freinshem... du Ryer..., Frankfurt, Jean Guilh. Ammon, 1673.
This work of history was first published with the title De rebus gestis Alexandri magni already in 1470 in Rome and the present edition, in the French translation by M. de Vangelas is a reprint of the 1659 edition. In any case the first French publication had been issued in Paris in about 1490 by Antoine Verard. Curtius’s book was very popular in Antiquity and was issued many times during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The surviving material treats the advance of Alexander the Great in Phrygia, with the incident of the Gordian Knot, followed by a record of the subsequent events up to the invasion of India, ending with the quarrels of his successors.
