Abstract
The paratext of French translations of Greek and Latin dramas (1530 to 1560) reveals the importance of the first humanists and translators in the codification of the tragedie a l’antique in France. The hallmarks which differentiate tragedy from morality are clearly set up in this paratext: the topic – the representation of extreme misfortunes happening to noble characters; the stylistic concept – the high style (gravitas); the double goal – delighting and teaching; and the means – the translation of the Ancients as an ideal way to carry out translatio studii.
