Analyse stylistique du Chapitre XL de « L’Éloge de la folie » d’D’Érasme
Stylistique analysis of the XL chapter of Erasmus’ “Praise of madness”

Summary/Abstract: This study addresses some stylistic devices used by Erasmus in chapter XL in order to build a complex argumentative structure in the service of a denunciation of superstitious religious practices and an exposure of the corruption of the men of religion of his time. The Erasmian theory on religion is all the more constitutive than instituting: it puts the reader in front of tragic tables representative of the decay of Man and the crumbling of religious values, but nevertheless lays, in its backgrounds, the foundations of a sublime religious ideal.
