Suggestions for Further Reading Foreword by John Walsh. From Wikipedia: "Quintus Curtius Rufus was a Roman historian, probably of the 1st century, author of his only known and only surviving work, Historiae Alexandri Magni, "Histories of Alexander the Great, " or more fully Historiarum Alexandri Magni Macedonis Libri Qui Supersunt, " Apart from his name on the manuscripts, nothing else certain is known of him. This fact alone has led philologists to believe that he had another historical identity, to which, due to the accidents of time, the link has been broken. Meanwhile the identity of Quintus Curtius Rufus, historian, is maintained separately."
