46th International Congress on Medieval Studies (May 12-15, 2011) 


This panel will analyze the contribution that sixteenth-century editors made to theformation of the medieval canon, particuarly in terms of selecting which textsreceived scholarly editions in the century after their composition. We arefocusing particularly on Denis Sauvage, editor of the first editions of thehistories of Philippe de Commynes and Jean Froissart equipped with critical apparatus.As well as being an editor and commentator on medieval histories, Sauvage was atranslator from Latin and Italian into French and one of a small number ofwriters to hold the position of royal historian. He is, therefore, a key figurein the French Renaissance and understanding his contribution will help usunderstand the way that modern approaches to medieval French literature wereshaped by the Renaissance.
