The Livre de vieillesse pertains to the field of study concerning late medieval Humanism, where the first royal patronage of translations from ancient Latin texts proved to be of enormous consequence for the French language, and especially for the formation of its vocabulary. / Our critical edition of the Livre de vieillesse presents the text of the first French translation of Cicero's De senectute , completed in 1405 by Laurent de Premierfait and dedicated to the Duke Louis de Bourbon. This text is unpublished. / We possess the bilingual copy of the translation, which constitutes a privileged component of authentication of variants. / The choice of the manuscript to edit was simple, for, of the twenty-six copies of the translation, two only bear the Latin original: Paris, B.N., lat 7789 (P) and Milan, Trivulz., 693 (T), where T presents itself as a copy of P. We thus follow the text of P, collated to T, and we adopt Bedier's method of text editing.
