Les bibliothèques retrouvées de Sante Pagnini, dominicain de Lucques et de Pierre Bullioud, « gentil-homme » lyonnais : en hébreu et en grec…

Résumé 0

The discovery, in the collections of the Municipal Library of Lyons, of several works of the 15th and 16th centuries annotated in Hebrew and Greek has made possible the reconstitution of libraries formed in the town at the Renaissance. The contents of these collections, from two fundamentally different periods in the development of humanism at Lyons, sheds a new light on the scholarly networks which brought credit to the city, and also on the character of the orientalists who brought them together for their own use. The working library of the Tuscan Dominican Sante Pagnini (1470- 1536) would be, even if every other document of his had been lost, a major source of information on the beginnings of his work and on his search for Hebraica veritas. The library of the celebrated Lyonnais Pierre Bullioud (1548-1597), demonstrates, after a gap of fifty years, another use for this philological heritage, between Reformation and Counter Reformation, during the years of religious, economic and political crisis at the end of the 16th century in Lyons.
