Oeuvres Completes. Tome I: Basiorum Liber Et Odarum Liber

This volume brings together the Odarum liber, composed in honor of Charles V, and the Basiorum liber, which forged the fame of Johannes Secundus and was imitated by the Pleiade coterie of poets. This critical edition places this collection in the literary tradition of the kiss that Johannes Secundus elevated to the status of poetic form in its own right. Bilingual Latin-French edition.
