Within a few decades of its composition, the poem had become a standard text of the literary curriculum. Virtually all authors of the thirteenth through fifteenth centuries knew the poem. And an extraordinary two hundred surviving manuscripts, elaborately annotated, attest both to the popularity of the Alexandreis and to the care with which it was read by its medieval audience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Townsend\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0812233476\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780812233476\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pennsylvania Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/29\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.20w x 0.80d","brand":"David Townsend","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48013793100031,"sku":"9780812233476","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d8796ee9-3732-48c9-9069-2982cc88f04c.jpg?v=1767744803","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-alexandreis-of-walter-of-david-townsend-9780812233476","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
