description

Resume: La poesie hexametrique d’E. Strozzi, poete neolatin fort prise pour sa maitrise de la versification et son innutrition achevee des sources latines, offre deux apologies de Cesar Borgia. L’une, breve (d’une soixantaine de vers), incluse dans un epyllion cynegetique de plus de 900 vers, campe le Valentinois de son vivant en chasseur et conquerant magnanime. L’autre prend la forme d’un long epicede (492 v.). Certes E. Strozzi applique dans ce poeme funebre epidictique les conventions du genre (lamentations, eloge du defunt, exhortation et consolation a la dedicataire, Lucrece Borgia, duchesse de Ferrare), toutefois le choix de l’hexametre et le recours systematique aux procedes et aux sources epiques servent a masquer les zones d’ombre du personnage conteste de Cesar Borgia et detourne le chant funebre en prophetie consolatoire a l’adresse de la dedicataire. Mots cles: Cesar Borgia, eloge, epopee, guerres d’Italie, humanism e Abstract: The hexametric poetry of E. Strozzi, admired Neo-latin poet for his mastery of versification and his perfect Latin innutritio contains two C. Borgia’s praises. The first one, rather short (about sixty lines only) and included in a cynegetical epyllion (more than 900 lines), depicts the ‘Valentinois’ still alive as a hunter and a magnanimous conqueror ; the other one takes the form of a long epicedion (492 lines). Of course E. Strozzi applies in this funeral epideictic poem the generic conventions (the lamentations, the praise of the deceased, the exhortation and the consolation to the dedicatee, Lucrezia Borgia, Duchess of Ferrara). However, the metrical choice of hexameter and the systematic use of epical sources and proceedings erase the obscure sides of the controversial Caesar Borgia and transform the funeral lamentation into a consolatory prediction at the address of the dedicatee. Keywords: Caesar Borgia, praise, epic, wars of Italy, humanism
