The gorgeous full and half page illuminated manuscript miniatures seen above - definitely click through to large and very large versions for the full impact - were produced by the workshop of the Flemish illuminator, Jehan de Grise, between 1338 and 1344.

This enormous French manuscript, from the Bodleian Library
shows, of course, the many alleged episodes during Alexander's
journeys, but the whimsical marginal figures and stylised details of
Medieval life mark the work out as a particularly superb example from
the 'Romance' literature. For unknown reasons, the manuscript also includes a copy of the 'Travels of Marco Polo'.
