Extract

M. Georges Pellissier, in his contribution to Petit de Julleville's Histoire de la Langue et de la Littérature Française, assigns as sources of Baïf's Livre des Météores: Virgil, Aratus, and Manilius. As his statement seems to have passed unchallenged and unverified in succeeding accounts of Baïf's work, the following excerpts have been prepared from a larger study of the didactic works of the Pléiade, and are here presented in the interest of exactness.
