Abstract

The Nouvelles Recreations et Joyeux Devis (1558) of Bonaventure des Periers present many confrontations between lawyers and outlaws. The satirical aspect of these tales has been acknowledged by critics, but the analysis of these texts reveals their more radical meaning and the way they question the reality of the justice. Emphasizing the unfairness of judges and law courts, Des Periers claims the right to a natural and universal justice contrasting with so deeply perverted human laws.
