- Abstract
- (en) Laurent de Premierfait was the most disseminated French translator of the 15th century. Several manuscripts approved by the author himself have been preserved and studied by historians. This article reconsiders the nature of the author’s intervention in the manuscripts of his texts from a philological and archaeological perspective. It demonstrates that these manuscripts have been copied by two main scribes (Hand S et Hand T) and that the Hand L (the author’s hand) has proof-read them. The identification of S or T with the author’s hand has been evaluated on the basis of a textual (spelling, punctuation, errors) and material (layout, personal marks, writing) assessment of their profile.
