Alexander the Great ("Alexander de Grote"), Lendering attempted to make greater use than earlier scholars of Persian and Babylonian sources. Several reviewers commended this practice, while noting that these sources, far fewer and far less rich than classical Greek and Latin sources, thus illuminate only specific details of Alexander's life.
