L’édition vénitienne de la Theologia naturalis de 1581 et Montaigne

A Venetian edition of Theologia naturalis by Sebond, published a few months away from the passage of Montaigne by Venice on November 1580, and provided by his printer with a « Præfatio » which seems to replace the Prologue set in the Index, can be analyzed as the culmination of a path, philosophical and linguistic. The study of the context of the Serenissima allows to see this path as accomplished by Montaigne and the Venetian printer as part of the same intellectual network.
