AB The main object of this research is the Qiṣṣat Ḏī l-Qarnayn (“The Story of the TwoHorned”), an Arabic version of the Alexander Romance, which we also examined within theframework of the Western-Arabic tradition of this literary cycle. The bipartite structure ofthis thesis reflects the two-fold interest of the Qiṣṣat Ḏī l-Qarnayn. In fact, the first part ofthis thesis concerns the linguistic variety of this text, which can be recognized as an AndalusiMiddle Arabic variety, whereas the second part focuses on the content of the Qiṣṣat Ḏī lQarnayn and of the other Western-Arabic versions of the Alexander Romance. In conclusion, this research allows, first of all, confirmation of the Andalusi origin of theQiṣṣat Ḏī l-Qarnayn and suggests a method to detect the non-stigmatized traits of Neo-Arabic by examining Middle Arabic texts whose linguistic variety is rather close to StandardArabic. Moreover, this research reveals the complexity of the transmission of the WesternArabic tradition of the Alexander Romance, to which the Qiṣṣat Ḏī l-Qarnayn belongs. Infact, this group of texts, originating from the Western extremity of the dār al-islām, showsan intricate network of similarities and textual correspondences. This complex networkseemingly reflects the complex transmission of these texts, which are the result of the continuous rewriting, reworking, and reassembling of fragments of texts of various types.
