In the priory collections : Marc Antoine Muret<\/h1>\n

Nowadays it's hard to grasp all the allusions to ancient myths and Antiquity authors in Ronsard's poetry. But don't worry, everyone in the 16th century French court was in the dark too...<\/p>\n

Luckily Marc-Antoine Muret<\/strong> was there to rescue enthusiastic readers: phew!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"a french humanist, a master of the pleiade poets<\/h2>\n
\n

Muret (1526-1585) was Ronsard's contemporary (1525-1585).<\/p>\n

He was born in Limoges and went into teaching at an early age. He was first and foremost a humanist who formed long-term intellectual connections with Montaigne and members of La Brigade (the future Pl\u00e9iade movement<\/strong>) at Coll\u00e8ge de Boncourt in Paris.<\/p>\n

As a philologist, he constantly provided annotations, commentary and explanations for ancient texts by the likes of Catullus, Horace, Terence, Plato and Cicero.<\/p>\n

Ronsard asked him to write a commentary for his poems (Les\u00a0Amours<\/em>) containing countless allusions to myths and neologisms taken from Greek and Latin. The commentary is printed in the 1553 Amours<\/em>\u00a0anthology. Muret also wrote the music for three Ronsard poems<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In return, the grateful poet gave him a poem (first published in the appendix for the second edition of Les\u00a0Amours<\/em>), an invitation to escape the world's chaos and reach the \"The Fortunate Islands\":<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Partons, Muret, allons chercher ailleurs<\/p>\n

Un ciel meilleur, et autres champs meilleurs\u00a0:<\/p>\n

Laissons, Muret, aux tigres effroyables<\/p>\n

Et aux lions ces terres mis\u00e9rables\u00a0:<\/p>\n

Fuyons fuyons quelque part [\u2026]\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

A PHILOlogist forced to emigrate to ROME<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

Muret was imprisoned in Le Ch\u00e2telet for sodomy and heresy in 1553. His powerful supporters had him released. He went to teach in Toulouse but the same accusations forced him to flee to Italy where he lived day to day in Padua, Ferrara and Venice among others. He was in regular communication with the Venetian printer Paulus Manutius<\/strong>\u00a0then his son Aldus Manutius the Younger about printing work by several Latin authors.<\/p>\n

Cardinal\u00a0Ippolito II d'Este<\/strong>\u00a0asked him to move to Rome in 1559. He returned to France for a while, after the cardinal, and took part in the Colloquy at Poissy<\/strong> between Catholics and Protestants. He moved permanently to Rome in 1563 and worked as a professor at La Sapienza University. He was famous for his erudition and rhetoric throughout Europe. He continued teaching Greek and law, made speeches and was a prolific letter writer.<\/p>\n

He was ordained priest in 1576 and died on June 4th 1585 under the protection of Pope Gregory XIII. He left his impressive library to his nephew, who died a few months later, and it is now part of the \"Vittorio Emanuele II\" Rome National Central Library's fantastic collection.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Indre-et-Loire Council acquired two tomes for Prieur\u00e9 Saint-Cosme, Ronsard's House, in one in-octavo volume, a reprint of the publication of Marc-Antoine Muret's work (1605) in 2020.<\/p>\n

The first tome contains 26 speeches and orations by the Limousin humanist and a collection of 127 letters written to his contemporaries as well as hymns and Latin poems.<\/p>\n

The second tome includes the life of M.-A. Muret by his friend Fran\u00e7ois Bencius, a new collection of 21 speeches and orations, a group of 92 never-before-seen letters, Latin poetry including the famous Julius Caesar tragedy and Muret's edition of\u00a0Mimes<\/em>\u00a0by Publius Syrus.<\/p>\n

The piece will be on public display at Ronsard's house. You can gaze at the period binding and sharp edge.<\/p>\n
