“Audacem faciebat amor” : Thisbe, an Ovidian Heroine from Antiquity to the 15th century

2022

In the Middle Ages, the fable of Pyramus and Thisbe from Ovid's Metamorphoses and older sources presents a range of varied representations, translated, reworked, transposed to serve literary, allegorical and moral purposes. This timeless love story has been adapted to multiples genres and purposes and became part of the literary and pictorial collective imagination. We explore the multiform reception of this fable to the 15th century in Latin and vernacular texts along with their illustrations in order to draw its diachronic evolution from its origins.

2015

Longtemps admise comme un acte optimiste permettant de se projeter dans l’avenir, elle est aujourd’hui tres negativement connotee malgre la persistance de son interet politique ponctuel. Cet epuisement de l’amnistie est moins lie au progres d’un consensus qui la rendrait inutile du fait de la baisse d’intensite du conflit civique qu’a la banalisation de son usage, a la tentation de la tirer du cote du pardon et a son usage recurrent pour couvrir des crimes d’Etat ou composer avec les ennemis de la Republique. Il est cependant surtout lie …
