Resumen de Die lateinische Poesie des Laurent de Premierfait: Französischer Frühhumanismus in mittelalterlicher Tradition?
Because of his translations (Boccaccio, Cicero, Aristotle) as well as his commentaries on ancient classics (Statius and Terence), Laurent de Premierfait (1360/1370-1418) is considered one of the most important representatives of early French humanism. His own Latin poetry, however, which has survived only to a small extent, has barely been studied. The present article provides the first critical edition as well as a literary-historical classification and evaluation of the surviving poems. In this context, the main question concerns the medieval and humanist traditions that Laurent’s poetry follows.
