The Motive Transmission of the Bible and Biblical Testimonies about Alexander The Macedonian in the Medieval Alexandrine Novel

Summary/Abstract: Textual analysis of the medieval Alexandrine novel, also known as Alexandrida, confirms that there were various forms of motive transmission in its structure. They are connected with numerous historical and other writings, epistolary texts, orally transmitted legends, tales and fantastic folk narratives, and, finely, with the testimonies about him in the Holy Bible. The christianization of textual structures in almost every literary genre of early-Byzantine and medieval literary tradition had an influence on the creation of the Byzantine Novel of Alexander the Great, which was translated in many languages during the medieval period, including the Old-Slavonic language. Analyses showed that Bible and the biblical testimonies about Alexander became one of the main sources for the content of the medieval Alexandrine novel. Through the ancient tradition there were also intersections with the motive transformations from the Bible. This creative construct was subordinate to the Christian ideological dictate and the story about the empire of Alexander The Great Macedonian was presupposed to be read as a literary document about the role of globalization during the Macedonian kingdom. The Christianity was considered to provide the same integration of the humanity, regarding the similarities and differences of the nations.
