This communication will focus on Gerard du Frattre, a compilation of three spicy promises transmitted in a single manuscript, copied at the beginning of the 16th century by a bourgeois of Paris named Jacques Le Gros. The analysis will focus on a series of time periods, as they are among the sections with a particularly wanted style and assimilate epic fresque to a constellation of texts such as the Trebizonde Conqueste, the painful Angoysses, the Illustrations of Jean Lemaire and the works of the great rhetoric. Within these narrative devices, our analysis will focus on the lexicon, in particular in style figures featuring mythological examples. The prose was then characterised by the employment of many latinisms and lexical units which had been poorly used at the dawn of the 16th century. More broadly, stylistic research in Gerard du Frattre may feed into the question of the intersection between the preclassical French and French means.
