Resumo

The manuscript RAH, Aemilianensis 60 (end of the 9th century), famous for including the “glosas emilianenses” (10th-11th century), contains in fols. 64r-67r an Interrogatio de nobissimo, a short millenarian text which is presented as the prophecy of a bishop named Alexander to the king Aristotle. Our article offers some hypotheses about this invention, relating it to the pseudo-Aristotelian epistolary tradition; it also attempts to insert the prophecy into the literary tradition of the Pseudo-Methodius, the Apocalypse of Daniel, the Visio Pauli, the Tiburtine Sibyl and some related texts, as well as in a possible Islamic context (Dajjal's description).
