edited and translated by Jean Bouquet, introduction by Etienne Wolff
English summary: This is the first volume devoted to the profane works of Dracontius: in this book, the reader will find Orestis tragoedia and parts I through V of the book, traditionally referred to as Romulea. French description: Apres la publication, en deux volumes, des poemes chretiens de Dracontius voici le premier des deuxtomes consacres a sa production profane. Apres une introduction etudiant les problemes specifiques poses par ces reuvres profanes, on trouvera l’Orestis tragoedia et les pieces I- V du recueil auquel on donnetraditionnellement le nom de Romulea. Empruntes a la tradition paienne, les sujets et les genres montrent que le veritable Dracontius ne se trouve pas seulement dans la partie chretienne de son oeuvre.L’ Orestis tragoedia Romulea n’ont jamais ete edites en France, et seule la premiere oeuvre a ete traduite en une langue moderne. Cette edition se fonde sur une relecture des manuscrits existants, associee aux acquis de la critique; depuis les travaux de l’erudition allemande du XIXe siecle jusqu’aux etudes les plus recentes, comme celle de J .M. Diaz de Bustamante.
