Jean de Léry’s Histoire d’un voyage faict en la terre de Brésil, like his contemporary Michel de Montaigne’s Essais, is a work that underwent significant modification and above all expansion over the course of several editions published during the author’s lifetime.

L’Histoire d’un voyage faict en la terre de Brésil de Jean de Léry, comme les Essais de son contemporain Michel de Montaigne, est une œuvre qui a subi d’importantes modifications et surtout une expansion tout au long des cinq éditions publiées du vivant de l’auteur. En fait, il serait justifié d’affirmer que le récit de Léry est une œuvre encore plus mobile et ouverte que les Essais, car si l’on considère l’Histoire comme un événement éditorial du vivant même de Léry, il faut aussi y ajouter ses multiples traductions, dont certaines étaient également illustrées. Toute tentative d’interprétation de l’œuvre dans un sens culturel plus large doit ainsi tenir compte de ces multiples incarnations et de cette circulation à une plus large échelle. À titre d’exemple, le présent article examine l’interaction entre le texte de Léry et la version allemande de l’Histoire parue en 1593 dans le troisième livre de la série des treize volumes des Grands Voyages de De Bry.
