The reception of Geoffrey’s works in the sixteenth century is examined through the work of one scholar, Dr John Dee; of Welsh origins he was not only an influential figure in the Elizabethan court but also a great collector of manuscripts and printed books which he compared and annotated heavily; they provide us with a useful source for understanding how and from where he acquired his library, his interactions with other scholars, and how he collated the various versions of the works he owned.
La réception de l’Historia regum Britannie de Geoffroy de Monmouth au xvie siècle est ici examinée à travers l’œuvre d’un érudit, Dr John Dee. D’origine galloise, Dee fut une figure influente à la cour d’Elisabeth Ie. Il collectionna de nombreux manuscrits et imprimés qu’il passa sa vie à annoter et à comparer. L’Historia et le « Brut » gallois font partie de ses acquisitions. Les notes qu’il a apposées sur leurs témoins sont autant d’indices permettant de comprendre comment il a reçu ces œuvres.
