2 unusual facts about Maurice Scève


Maurice Scève

Scève was also responsible for a translation of a sentimental novel (Grimalte y Gradissa) by Juan de Flores as La Déplourable fin de Flamète (1535), which was inspired by Giovanni Boccaccio.

This spiritual love, which animated Antoine Héroet's Parfaicte Amye (1543) as well, owed much to Marsilio Ficino, the Florentine translator and commentator of Plato's works.
