Meigret offers in his Trętté (1550) an analysis of the “accents” of French, the first known analysis of the intonation of French. Based on a re-examination of the rules and transcriptions proposed by Meigret, we identify the principles underlying his analysis, notably the association of the high-pitched-bass tonal pattern at the end of an accent group. This reveals a parallelism between the principles adopted by Meigret and certain models of intonation proposed for modern French.
