Résumé
Critical studies don’t mention Claude Fauchet’s rewriting of a passage from Jean Froissart’s Chroniques concerning a mythical episode of the Hundred Years’ War: the meeting between the burghers of Calais, the King of England, and his wife. However, in 1555, the Parisian historiographer included this story in the Veilles, un unpublished collection of disparate essays, transmitted by a single autograph manuscript (ms. Paris, BnF, fr. 24726). This study aims to investigate the rewriting process, analysing sources and compositional strategies, in order to show how the Veilles represent a privileged observatory for understanding the characteristics of the French humanist current interested in the rediscovery of medieval authors.
