| Resumo: | This introduction summarises the aims of the colloquium held in Caen on June 23 and 24, 2023, and briefly presents the proceedings, which contain eleven contributions based on papers – six in French and five in English –, as well as the first critical edition of the Reges Daniæ, a collection of distiches composed in 1602 by Jon Jacobsen alias Venusinus. These distiches, closely following the History of the Danes, and written at the request of King Christian IV, were intended to decorate 100 new guns. The papers of the colloquium thus cover many aspects of Saxo Grammaticus’ monumental work, completed in the early 13th century and printed in Paris in 1514 – studying important features of the original version without neglecting its reception in contemporary literature and cinema. |
