Grell "Thucydide en France de la Renaissance à la Révolution" in Ombres de Thucydide. La réception de l'historien depuis l'Antiquité jusqu'au début du XXe siècle Ausonius 2010 pp. 587–600.An edition published at the instigation of François IFirst edition of the translation by Claude de Seyssel based on Lorenzo Valla's Latin translation published at the instigation of François I by Jacques Colin his almoner and ordinary reader. The printing was made thanks to the manuscript kept in the king's library and the colophon explains the meaning of this gesture: "… et finablement a esté publié et mis en lumière par le commandement du tres chrestien Roy Françoys premier de ce nom au prouffit et edification de la noblesse et subjectz de son Royaulme."Born in Savoy around 1450 Claude de Seyssel pursued a diplomatic career before becoming an influential prelate he died archbishop of Turin in 1520. He translated several historical works including Diodorus of Sicily offering his presentation manuscripts to Louis XII. The contract linking Josse Bade and François I is still preserved.Important copy annotated by a reader belonging to the "Republic of Letters"Our volume was very extensively annotated with great regularity by a humanist scholar from the late 1620s to the early 1630s. Indeed at f. CLXXVIIv an event of the year 1629 is mentioned designated as "this year": "de nostre temps ès villes huguenottes qu'on desmolit cest an 1629." The year 1632 also appears in a reference to Nicolas Faret's Honneste-Homme preface f. a 7v.Our reader — who wrote about 1000 notes often substantial throughout the work — proves emblematic of the Republic of Letters: he makes the Ancients Thucydides Aristotle and the Moderns Machiavelli Bodin Giovio converse in the margins. He summons geography Ortelius as well as technical treatises; and relies on examples from navigators such as Magellan.His humanistic cursive handwriting accompanies a precise method: to state maxims support them with examples then give precise references. The echoes to recent publications or to the current affairs of the reign of Louis XIII finally reveal an attentive eye on contemporary events faithful to the critical ideal of European men of letters. A profile emerges that places our annotator in the lineage or the milieu of Naudé the Dupuy brothers or Peiresc.Numerous philosophical historical references & resonances with the history of his timeOur annotator makes numerous references to ancient Greek and Latin historical works Appian of Alexandria at f. XLVIII v° Aristotle's Politics at f. LVII v° Livy at f. XLIX v° Tacitus and Zonaras at f. XXV r° but it is above all the political and philosophical works of the Renaissance that he more readily invokes particularly Machiavelli Florentine Histories and the Discourses the history of Paolo Giovio and Jean Bodin.His method often consists in formulating in the margin a general maxim which he illustrates with solid historical references confirming the usefulness — stressed by Seyssel — of the numerous speeches "contions" included in Thucydides' work. He possesses enough Italian to quote Machiavelli in the text on several occasions.At f. XXIIIr concerning the Spartans who hear the complaints of the Athenians and send them out so they may deliberate among themselves he notes that "les intéressés doivent sortir des assemblées ou leurs affaires se deliberent Tite Live dec. 3 L. 6 fol. 140 fol. 141. dec 4. L. 5 fol. 135."Likewise at f. CXXVI v° where he draws on Paolo Giovio's History of His Time which contains long developments on the Sack of Rome in 1527: "quiconque n'obtient à ce qu'il desire se persuade qu'on luy fat rot vide Jovio l. 31 fol. 231 du pape Clem 7 piqué contre l'empereur Charles 5."Or again at the beginning of chapter 7 of book III where he cites Jean Bodin in support: "Toute ceste harangue tend à persuader qu'il faut pardonner. Bod. li. 4 De la rép ch. 6 p. 91" f. XCI r°.From time to time our reader makes fascinating parallels with his own era: this is the case at f. CLXXVIIv where he connects a passage of book V chap. 10 of Thucydides on the effectiveness of the mobilisation of the entire Athenian people to strengthen the walls with the contemporary effort to destroy Huguenot strongholds in the France of Louis XIII: "de nostre temps ès villes huguenottes qu'on desmolit cest an 1629."A reader fond of geography & seafaring who mentions Magellan & relies on the maps of OrteliusOur annotator also pays attention to geographic and historical accuracy and makes use of comparative cartography of his time to picture the situation of a battle: from Athens to Mytilene he compares the map of Hondius who counts 240 miles while Ortelius counts only 200 f. XCIIIv°.He often relies on the testimony of sailors mathematicians or geographers for greater accuracy: for example concerning the size of the kingdom of the Odrysians he refers to the Dialogue de la longitude est-ouest by Toussaint de Bessard Norman mathematician and hydrographer published in 1574. One sees how attached he is to the testimonial history of Thucydides as opposed to the more anthropological and sometimes unreliable history of Herodotus.At f. 80 verso appears a reference to Magellan: after stating that "un capitaine de marine doit sur toutes choses prudence garder à soy" our annotator then mentions "Almeida près du cap de bonne espérance l'an 1510" & "Magellan à Zébu Cebu l'an 1521" references he finds "chez Osorius en l'Histoire de Portugal livre 6 no 16."A few textual remarks and corrections are also to be noted: in chapter 4 of book II he notes that there is an improbability in the length of the wall and does not know to whom he should attribute the error: "ce passage estoit corrompu en l'original latin que Seyssel a traduit ou il a mal conceu l'intention de Thucicide …" f. XLVIII v°.Precious volume annotated by a humanist scholar of the 1620s manifestly close to the networks of the Republic of Letters Josse Bade
