| Summary: | Claude Boudan was a Celestine monk of significant stature, who held several offices within the Order. He was also a prolific and talented author of Latin verse. Among his numerous works still in manuscript, the long poem in dactylic hexameters, titled De mutua hugonostici belli et catholicae pacis collatione carmen heroicum, is unique insofar as it offers his perspective on the contemporaneous events of the Wars of Religion in France. Written in an energetic, and at times eve polemical tone, the poem describes several violent incidents that occurred during the period beginning in the early 1560S and preceding the Saint Bartholomew’s Massacre of 1572, adopting a resolutely partisan point of view. In this, it resembles much of the polemical poetry written during the period, by authors as diverse as Ronsard, d’Aubigné, Jean Dorat, and Léger Du Chesne. |
