Anne-Marie Legaré, La réception du poème des Eschés amoureux et du Livre des Eschez amoureux moralisés dans les États bourguignons au XVe siècle, Le Moyen Age, 113, 2007 : p. 591-611

Résumé sur le site de la revue : Towards 1400, Évrart de Conty, Charles V’s doctor, wrote the Livre des Eschez amoureux moralisés from a text in verse, Les Eschés amoureux, which he himself had written some thirty years earlier. Évrart’s undertaking consisted of converting his long poem into prose and moralizing it. In both its versions, the work circulated in France, between Paris and Cognac, but also in Burgundian circles where it received a most favorable reception. Focusing our attention on the Duchy of Burgundy, we went in search of archival documents, of codicological, artistic and heraldic clues, enabling us to be more specific about the place where the illuminated specimens were produced, to track lost copies and to link a lost manuscript with the “témoin gamma” said to be the source of the Burgundian family of prose commentary.
