Jean-Charles Monferran, « Ce que l'on ne peut imiter et que l'on ne peut apprendre, ou ce que les arts poétiques français de la Renaissance « montrent au doigt » (l'exemple de J. Peletier du Mans et de quelques autres) », Littérature, ID : 10.3406/litt.2005.1879
That Which Cannot Be Imitated and That Which Cannot Be Learnt, or that which French Renaissance artes poeticae "point out" (J. Peletier du Mans and a few others) It is in artes poeticae, despite their apparently normative goals, that one can find instances of a reflection upon singularity in Renaissance authors; indeed, Peletier du Mans' prescriptions are brief precisely so as to preserve the individual poet's possibility of singularity.
