| Notes: | Reproduces only the first part of the manuscript (fol. 1-208) containing the French metrical Roman d'Alexandre, the oldest and most extensive part by Lambert le Tort, with additions by Alexandre de Bernay, who probably revised the whole. Includes the following interpolations: Li fuerres de Gadres, by one Eustache, rewritten by Alexandre de Bernay; Le duc Melchis, author unknown; Les voeux du paon, by Jacques de Longuyon; Restor du paon, by Jean Brisebare; Alexander's Voyage au Paradis, author unknown; La vengeance du boin roy Alixandre, by Jean le Nevelons.
The manuscript, in the Picard dialect, was finished in 1338, and the beautiful illuminations by Jehan de Grise, in 1344.
