Remy Belleau et l’art de guérir

Obscenity and Censorship in the Reign of Henri III

“… 27 Belleau died on 6 March 1577: hence if he was the author of the poem, it would most likely have been among his very last compositions. The modern critic and editor of Belleau’s works, Jean Braybrook, finds it highly improbable that this was an instance of his valedictory style: see Braybrook, 78n168. Others are content to let the attribution stand: e.g., Kuin and Lake Prescott.…”
