'''Historia destructionis Troiae''' ("History of the destruction of Troy") or '''Historia Troiana''' is a Latin prose narrative written by Guido delle Colonne, a Sicilian author, in the early 13th century. Its main source was the Old French verse romance by Benoît de Sainte-Maure, ''Roman de Troie''.
In later centuries several translations of Guido's work appeared, in Catalan, English, French, German and Italian:

★ ''Històries troianes'', translated to Catalan by Jaume Conesa, in 1367

★ John Lydgate, ''Troy Book'', written in English around 1412-1420

★ ''The gest hystoriale of the destruction of Troy'', in English

★ Jacques Milet, ''La destruction de la Troye'', in French
