Perrine Galand-Hallyn, « « Me tamen exprimo » : la singularité d'écrire dans la poésie latine française du XVIe siècle. L'exemple des Naeniae (1550) de Macrin », Littérature, ID : 10.3406/litt.2005.1878
Perrine Galand-Hallyn "Me tamen exprimo": Singularity of Writing in French 16th Century Latin Poetry. Macrin's "Naeniae" (1550) Politien first used the expression se exprimere in its modern sense, showing the culmination of a long process of reflection on the relation between imitation and the self in Quintilius, which was to particularly affect the French Renaisssance — where it shows up in practice in Macrin's poetry.
