ALEXANDER CORNELIUS

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 566 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AJA-ALL
ALEXANDER CORNELIUS ,
Greek
  grammarian, surnamed POLYHISTOR from his
great
  learning, born at
Miletus
  or Myndus in
Caria
 , flourished about 70 B.C. He was taken prisoner in the Mithridatic war by Sulla, from whom (or from Cornelius
Lentulus
 ) he received his freedom and assumed the name Cornelius. He accompanied Crassus on his
Parthian
 
campaigns
 , and perished at the destruction by fire of his
house
  at Laurentum. He is said to have written " books without number," chiefly on historical and geographical subjects. Of the extant fragments ('Miller, Faagmenta Historicorum Graecorum, iii.) those relating to the
Jews
  are important as containing quotations from lost Jewish authors.
