Stratégies auctoriales et éditoriales de dédicaces - Éditions latines et grecques au milieu du xvi^e siècle

A territory shared between the printer and the author, the dedicatory epistle is attached to the text it accompanies with each new edition. The choice of the author just as much as the choice of the editor may correspond to a great number of strategies. Like a gazette the dedication also informs the republic of letters about the current affairs of the publishing house.
