Du latin au français, du dialogue au récit de pèlerinage Jean du Blioul et son entreprise d’autotraduction à la fin du xvi^e siècle

From the end of the Middle Ages, accounts of pilgrimages to Jerusalem were written in vulgar language. Yet the phenomenon of self-translation remains to be explored. Jean Zullart wrote an account of his journey in Italian, with the intention of publishing it in Rome on his return; he then translated it into French. Jean du Blioul started the descriptive passages from scratch when he translated it into French in a deliberately impoverished version. Self-translation is also a rewriting.
