In Virgil's third Eclogue , Palaemon concludes the poetry competition between Menalcas and Damoetas by saying that he cannot choose between them, a judgment that is emblematic of the contest between Neo-Latin and vernacular poetry in Renaissance France. Both forms of poetry draw on similar roots, both are equally accomplished, and the contest between them is largely amicable. The Judgment of Palaemon illustrates the almost symbiotic relationship between Renaissance Latin and French poetry, while exploring poets' motivation for choosing one language over another, the different challenges each form of writing involved, and the extent of the collaboration between different language communities. It focuses on some of the major writers of the period, as well as less well known ones, and on genres specific to humanist poetry. It shows that composing in Latin was often considered more natural, at a time when many Frenchmen's mother tongue was a non-standard French dialect or distinct language.

This collection of essays, celebrating the distinguished career of Alison Saunders (University of Aberdeen), consists of contributions from friends and colleagues from different stages of her life. All serve to demonstrate that, indeed, "Le livre demeure..." ; that book may be in the form of a manuscript or of an early printed book, illustrated by woodcuts or engravings, or indeed transformed into an electronic medium, but always the centrality of looking at the material text, words or images on the page determines the critical approaches adopted in these papers, as in Saunders' own research over more than 40 years. While many contributors have turned to Saunders' own favoured field of the emblem, the entire volume serves as a paradigm of the way in which recourse to the original primary sources, the actual marks on paper (or vellum), can and should underpin literary and historical study in the Medieval and Early Modern periods.
