Résumé
The apologue of Antiphysie in Rabelais’ Quart Livre, which Lionello Sozzi has finely analysed, can be connected to the fourth dialogue of the Cymbalum Mundi, the narrative tetralogy attributed to Bonaventure Des Périers. The hounds Hylactor and Pamphagus yap and piss at the potter’s pots, nonetheless they speak and read a letter addressed to the upper Antipodes from the lower ones, threatening to invade them. The extension of the scene to the entire earth characterises this last dialogue which ends in fear, terror, silence. The dogs hasten to hide the letter, as this seems the best to do. Drawing its inspiration from Servius, Virgil’s commentator, the joke in the manner of Lucian results in an enigma, or perhaps a threat.
