Greece/Netherlands: Illuminated page from a medieval version of Pseudo-Callisthenes, 'The Romance of Alexander' (Greece, c. 200-300 CE), produced in Holland by the Flemish illuminator Jehan de Grise (fl. 1325-1345), 1338-1344. Attributed to an unknown author identified only as Pseudo-Callisthenes, 'The Romance of Alexander' was first produced in Greek between 200-300 CE from written accounts and stories derived from the oral tradition. Although notionally a history of Alexander the Great (d. 323 BCE), it is really a mixture of legend and fact.
