Article | Contributor(s): Jean-Claude Moisan, Sabrina Vervacke

Legrand, dans l’Archiloge Sophie, donne à “l’allegacion” deux finalités: embellir le langage et inciter à la vertu. Pour ce faire, il s’ingéniera à fixer le sens moral profond que recèlent les fictions des Métamorphoses d’Ovide en les rangeant sous des catégories commodes et faciles d’utilisation...

Article | Contributor(s): Winfried Schleiner

That Gaspar Schoppe, author of several stinging publications against James I, was brutally attacked in a Madrid street in 1614 has often been dismissed as the victim’s larmoyant exaggeration of a mere licking, although Schoppe claimed that it was an attempt on his life. But there is a letter...

Facettes et reflets du mythe mirandolien

Article | Contributor(s): Louis Valcke

Il existe autour de l’Oratio de hominis dignitate de Jean Pic de la Mirandole un véritable mythe prométhéen, par lequel le texte de l'Oratio s'est chargé peu à peu, à partir de Burckhardt, d'une fonction prophétique. Le présent article vise à revoir dans ce contexte les différentes idées reçues...
