Summary/Abstract: The life of Saint Alexius is one of the most famous legends and it is also one of the legends which was translated to many languages during the time of Middle Ages. In this paper I represent the origin of this legend, the general and unique attributes of the multilanguage versions and the Hungarian reception. In my research I was wondering about the popularity of the legend, what presumably can be produced by the common motives and their interpretation, and what motives increased due the time from the earliest Syriac to the first modern language versions.
