  Marguerite of Navarre   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Rather, it is her posthumously printed work, the Heptameron that has established her as one of the premier French female writers of the Enlightenment.
She was a controversial figure for her religious convictions, however, as an author, she was a pioneer for French women’s importance on the literary scene.
The author conjectures that Marguerite’s work, Heptameron, is a social text that attempts to intervene in matters of the state through the guise of being a fictional piece of literature.

 Heptameron
Ideological confrontations in the Heptameron often echo evangelical efforts at church reform.
Here, conflicts among the storytellers are less oppositional, for even if some seem more fervent in their religious ardor than others and some more concerned with the corporal than with the spiritual, none of them advocated a theological postion opposed to that of the evangelical reformers.
The climate of unrest, menace, and hostility that characterizes the prologue also portrays the world of the Heptameron in general, the physical world from which the storytellers flee and to which they wait to return, and their overall view of the human condition as well.

 Appeals for pity in the Heptameron Renascence - Find Articles
Furthermore, discussions following the Heptameron stories sometimes address practical or worldly questions, such as why, if a love was virtuous, it had to be kept secret (tale 70); or they expose interpersonal conflicts among the devisants.
Their presence in the Heptameron calls attention to the importance of certain Christian virtues, and indicates that criticism of rhetoric in this work covers more than simply suspicion of "art" in the telling of stories.
An appeal to pity falls under the rubric of pathos.6 A criticism of rhetorical manipulation is apparent when an individual in the Heptameron makes an appeal for pity on his or her own behalf.

The Heptameron of Marguerite d'Angoulêeme was obviously inspired by The Decameron of Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375).
The Heptameron is, of all Margaret's works, the one on which her literary reputation has mainly rested since her death.
The conversations in the Heptameron on the characters and incidents of the last related tale, and which generally introduce the subject of the new one, are much longer than in the Italian novels, and indeed occupy nearly one-half the work.

When reading the Heptameron, written by the king's sister, the reader cannot help but notice the large number of tales that weave a discussion of clothing into the plot.
By unraveling narrative discourse in the Heptameron, it becomes evident that clothing, as a cultural production of the textile industry, serves as a source of a society's collective memory.
Given the monarch's role in the legal establishment of textile ateliers, it is not surprising that Marguerite de Navarre interlaced a discourse on clothing into the literary fabric of her tales.

 Book of Ceremonial Magic: Chapter III: Composite Rituals: Section 6: The Heptameron
A form of procedure which bequeathed nothing to the imagination and asked no other skill than the patient exactitude of the rule of thumb was necessary to the weakness of the ordinary sorcerer.
Assuming the sacerdotal office of the operator, or a priest for an accomplice, it is all so simple that failure could not well be ascribed to a blunder on his part.
It would be invidious to suppose that the Heptameron is more authentic as regards its attribution than the work to which it is professedly a sequel; its real authorship is involved in much the same kind of obscurity as that of pseudo-Agrippa.

 Marguerite de Navarre: about this text
They agree to hear ten stories each day for ten days, but actually they reach only about 70, or one week's worth (heptameron means seven days, as decameron means ten days), and the book is thus the collection of these fictions.
The first publication of the Heptameron, in 1558, is somewhat chaotic: the framework for the work, borrowed from Boccaccio, is completely lost, and many of the stories are truncated.
Marguerite creates the characters who recount these stories, and in recent years it has been recognized that she provides a variety of moral and psychological perspectives, none of which is necessarily her own.

 Memoir of Louise of Savoy, Duchess of Angoulême, and of her daughter Margaret, Queen of Navarre.
Her productions in verse, the greater part of which have been printed, consist of eight long poems on sacred, amorous, or historical subjects; eight dramatic pieces, including four mysteries, two moralities, and two farces; poetical epistles to her brother, her mother, and the King of Navarre; and roundeaux, dixains, songs and other small pieces.
According to the last editors of the Heptameron, some of Margaret's fugitive pieces, published by them for the first time, are superior as literary works to her more serious compositions, and in them alone are to be found the gaiety and grace for which she has been so much celebrated by her contemporaries.
The work was consequently assailed with fierce denunciations from the orthodox pulpits; a comedy was acted by the students of the College of Navarre, in which the queen was represented as a Fury of Hell, and the Sorbonne decreed at least, if it did not promulgate, a censure upon her heretical production.

 The Heptameron of Margaret, Queen of Navarre.
The genuine Heptameron, after remaining in manuscript for more than three hundred years from the Queen of Navarre's death, was only published two years ago by the Société des Bibliophiles Français.
The Heptameron having grown very scarce, the booksellers of Amsterdam reprinted it in 1698.
His "beau language" is mere slipslop; he mistakes the meaning of his original a thousand times; and by way, no doubt, of "accommodating it to the taste of the age," he patches it with paltry scraps from the common repertory of the "fast school" of his day.

This digital document is an article from Renaissance Quarterly, published by Renaissance Society of America on March 22, 1997.
Marguerite de Navarre's Heptameron has only recently begun to receive the critical attention it deserves - or perhaps one should say that changes in our cultural perspective make it clear that the Heptameron now deserves increased attention.
One reason for the critics' relative neglect of this text has been the perception that it is merely an imitation of a recognized masterpiece, Boccaccio's Decameron.

Along with her works of spiritual poetry and theater, Marguerite began writing the novellas she envisioned would compose a French Decameron.
She died before the project was complete, leaving 73 novellas that the editor, Claude Gruget, entitled the Heptameron (from the greek hepta, "seven") in his 1559 posthumous edition.
Inspired by the Italian predecessor's model, Marguerite develops and animates the fictional frame around her novellas much more than does Boccaccio.

Its attribution to the famous physician Peter de Abano (1250-1316) may be spurious, as his accepted works 'betray no acquaintance with the occult sciences.' Note however that Agrippa refers to de Abano in his Third Book as being his source for the Theban alphabet of Honorius of Thebes.
