Chapter 6 continues an account of the reception of Plutarch’s work in the mid to late sixteenth century in France with reference to the translation work and political reflection of figures such as Georges de Selve (1508–1541) (now famous as one of the figures in Holbein’s famous painting “The Ambassadors”). The latter part of the chapter discusses what is perhaps the best-known moment of Plutarch reception, the French vernacular translations of the Lives (1559–1565) and Moralia (1572) by Jacques Amyot (1513–1593). I discuss how the advent of the Wars of Religion (1562–1598) in France affected the themes through which Plutarch was received and read in Renaissance France, partly through an examination of the para-text of Amyot’s translations in the late sixteenth century. I also explore briefly Jean Bodin’s discussion of ther reliability of Plutarch as a source as noted in his Method for the Easy Comprehension of History.
