Une découverte exceptionnelle que ce texte de Lucrèce entièrement annoté de la main de Montaigne ! Les remarques et commentaires, la plupart en français, jusqu’aux traces de sa plume traînante dans les marges, indiquent les réactions de Montaigne face au poème et précisent quelques fondements de sa pensée.
Extraits d'un article paru dans "The Times Literary Supplement" du 26 mars 99: "M.A. Screech's anecdote about the recent discovery of Montaigne's annotated copy of Lucretius (...) and his relish in being commissioned to transcribe it, set the engagingly personal tone for the quirky and emphatically umpedantic work of reference. (...) In "his" book, Screech has obligingly done our homework for us so that "each reader can have the pleasure of judging" how Montaigne read Lucretius. In the end, it is as much of a pleasure to observe Screech reading Montaigne". by Yasmin Haskell
