seule publication de ce dernier. La paternité de la traduction a divisé et divise encore les
spécialistes mais deux noms reviennent fréquemment : celui de Jean des Gouttes, auteur
de l'épître dédicatoire au cardinal Hippolyte d'Este, et celui de l'humaniste et traducteur Jean
Martin (+ 1553). Il semblerait toutefois que cette traduction réalisée sous la supervision de
Thelusson fut le travail d'au moins trois personnes, Jean des Gouttes, Charles Fontaine
et Denis Sauvage, et que le nom de Martin doive être écarté. Titre imprimé dans un
portique gravé avec texte orné de lettrines ornementées. Contient une étude sur les "sens
allégoriques" des 46 chants du poème dans les feuillets liminaires.
