Notes: | Collection of "rhétoriques" or didactic treatises on French versification of the 15th and 16th centuries, at that time called "seconde" in contrast to the art of Latin versification. It was also contrasted to the art of prose. The 2d, 3d, 4th and 7th of the treatises are here published for the first time; the 1st is a chapter of Jacques Legrand's Archiloge sophie, and was previously published in A. Coville's thesis, De Jacobi Magni vita et operibus, Paris, 1889. cf. Introd. Includes bibliographical references and indexes.
