Une sagesse en pilules ?. Les recueils de dits de sages dans les premiers imprimés

This article aims at providing a census and a description of incunabula and early 15th century editions of three florilegia collecting moral dicta (Dits des sages, Dits moraux de plusieurs philosophes, Dits et autorités des sages philosophes); the analysis will show that these compilations are the proof of a continuity between late Middle Ages and early Renaissance, while highliting the relevance of a distinction separating the sage and the philosopher.
