Bibliographies

Waldemar Heckel's gigantic, wonderful bibliography with links to all the articles on the web (c. 900 items, sorted by author). There aren't many necessary Alexander resources online, but this is one of them.

Short bibliography by Paul Cartledge, from his BBC article "Alexander the Great: Hunting for a New Past."

Multilingual monetary bibliography from Ottavio de Manzini and Sergio Rossi's Alessandro III Il Grande Storia e Monete.

Course bibliography for Elizabeth Carney's Alexander the Great and Ancient Macedonia.

Bibliography of recent Alexander scholarship: "Alexander the Great 2000-2004" by Martijn Cuypers. Comprehensive for the period it covers (with a little 2004 updating). Cuypers is responsible for the excellent A Hellenistic Bibliography.

The Army of Alexander the Great with considerable bibliography (Sander van Dorst)

Alexander bibliography by John Paul Adams of Cal State Northridge. (c. 25 items, by subject). See also his Changes in Greece: Philip II and Alexander. Nice close-ups of mosaic.
