BATAILLON (Marcel). ÉTUDES Sur le Portugal au Temps de L’Humanisme. Coimbra. 1952. - BATAILLON (Marcel) ÉTUDES Sur le Portugal au Temps de L’Humanisme . Coimbra: Por Ordem da Universidade, 1952. XII, 308, [4] pp.; 220 mm. First edition, bringing together in one volume the author's studies on humanism in Portugal, mostly previously scattered across Portuguese journals and the result of research conducted in archives and libraries across the country. Marcel Bataillon (1895-1977), a renowned French Hispanist and author of Érasme et l'Espagne (1937), introduced the study of Portuguese literature at the Collège de France, where he created the chair of Languages and Literatures of the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America. The Études sur le Portugal au Temps de l'Humanisme (Studies on Portugal in the Time of Humanism) brings together research on the circulation of Erasmian and humanist ideas in Portugal during the 16th century, constituting a valuable working tool for specialists in Iberian humanism and a tribute from the Portuguese academic community to the Hispanist who contributed so much to the dissemination of Lusophone culture in French education. The work was reissued in an expanded edition in 1974. (Estimated.) ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
