Abstract :
[en] The talk was divided in two parts: first, a general overview of the results of the project so far; second, a case study dedicated to the rhetorics of pyre and rhetorics of martyrdom through the phoenix metaphor among Reformed texts during the second half of the Sixteenth century - mostly, but not exclusively Theodore Beza's.
