Through his numerous works, Pierre Laurens has illuminated vast fields of study that he has explored with his elegant pen. Poetry remains his favorite terrain: Greek, Latin, and Neo-Latin epigrams, whose singularity he highlights, the Latin verses of Petrarch to which he pays vibrant homage with his talented reed pen, and a thousand other authors still whom he adorns with new gold, thanks to his studies of exceptional acuity. Philologist, philosopher, fine reader of Marsilio Ficino, the emblems of Alciat, and many other Humanists, he has inspired and directed numerous academic works, vigorously confirming the centrality and fertility of ancient literature and thought throughout the centuries. The studies gathered in this work constitute an anthology filled with loyalty, recognition, and friendship shown to him by former students, colleagues, and friends. The diversity of these works, concerning various aspects of the Latin and neo-Latin tradition, illustrates, once again, the richness and breadth of the influence of the generous and stimulating master that Pierre Laurens remains.
