« Æsope le François » Autour de dix-sept fables éditées par Rabelais (1534)

Romain Menini and Olivier Pédeflous’ contribution adds a new item to the Rabelaisian archive. It reveals the role played by Rabelais in the 1534 publication of a collection by François Juste entitled Fantastiques batailles des grands Roys Rodilardus et Croacus. Rabelais emerges as the driving force in the publication of this collection which includes the Batrachomyomachie du by the (pseudo) Homer and seventeen French fables featuring rats and frogs.
