Abstract
The compositional technique of compilation allowed Christine de Pizan to exploit the authority of her prestigious sources, and to transmit their teachings to new reading publics. The present article examines the use Christine made of Giles of Rome’s De Regimine principum in her biography of Charles V in order to demonstrate that compilation was more than “cut and paste”, and to reveal the workings of an interpretive process that was dynamic and highly creative.
