  The sublime and writing of rhetoric treatises (II)

  « En traitant des beautés de l’Élocution, il a employé toutes les finesses de l’Élocution. » (Boileau, préface à sa traduction du Traité du Sublime, édition de 1701). C'est à la question de l'écriture du traité de rhétorique antique que cette journée d'étude est consacrée, interrogeant au-delà du seul Pseudo-Longin l'art que le critique met lui-même en œuvre pour rendre compte des textes qu'il commente. Elle complète une première journée, organisée à Reims en mars 2012, et prépare à la publication d'un volume collectif.

  Tacitus and Tacitism in Europe in the early modern era (16th-18th century)

  The writing of history and the conception of power

  Even if Tacitus was not totally unknown during the medieval period, the publication in Venice of the editio princeps of his works around 1470 and then, in 1515, the first edition of the Annales with the recently rediscovered first six books, marked the beginning of a real fascination for the Roman historian, for his approach to history, his style, and even more so, for his political lessons. All over Europe numerous editions of his books, in Latin or in translation, were published, as well as critical commentaries and political treaties that all claimed, under various forms, to be inspired by the ideas of Tacitus, thus giving birth to “Tacitism”.
