Editing Clément Marot (section)

===In Ferrara===
He passed through Nérac, the court of Navarre, and made his way to [[Renée, duchess of Ferrara]], a supporter of the [[Protestant Reformation]] in France—as steadfast as her sister-in-law Marguerite, and even more efficacious, because her dominions were outside France. At Ferrara his work there included the celebrated ''Blasons'' (a descriptive poem, improved upon medieval models), which set all the verse-writers of France imitating them.{{sfn|Saintsbury|1911|p=748}} The ''blason'' was defined by [[Thomas Sébillet]] as a perpetual praise or continuous [[wiktionary:vituperation|vituperation]] of its subject. The ''blasons'' of Marot's followers were printed in 1543 with the title of ''Blasons anatomiques du corps féminin''.{{sfn|Saintsbury|1911|p=748|loc=fn.&nbsp;2}}
