“Joachim Du Bellay lecteur de Virgile”
Musée archéologique de Sousse, Tunisia: (song-)thrushes picking at olives in a basket; mosaic, Roman, c. 2nd c. CE. [No actual connection to the talk: just JÓB waxing metaphorical.]
Ms Gautier is a sixteenth-century scholar at the École normale supérieure de Lyon. Her Masters thesis was on connections linking Du Bellay, Horace, and Juvenal. Her current work continues this exploration of the Bellayan œuvre, deepening understanding of its borrowings from Latin poetry.
