Dans sa traduction des ThÃ©riaques de Nicandre rÃ©alisÃ©e Ã partir de la traduction latine de Jean de Gorris et publiÃ©e Ã la suite de ses Deux livres des venins (1567-1568), Jacques GrÃ©vin inscrit la science dans la langue par des choix de caractÃ©risation qui sont le fait dâun mÃ©decin soucieux de vernaculariser le savoir autant que dâun poÃ¨te proche de Ronsard et de la PlÃ©iade, dÃ©sireux de renouveler par la description mÃªme la reprÃ©sentation du monde. ComplÃ©mentaires des choix de dÃ©nomination typiques des nomenclatures contemporaines, ses choix descriptifs, lexicaux, morphologiques et syntaxiques, attestent, au-delÃ de son souci de francisation, celui dâacclimater le savoir tout en en mimant et connotant lâÃ©trangetÃ© par lâÂ« effet grec Â» des mots eux-mÃªmes, et celui de tourner, par lâÃ©nergie de la phrase, la taxinomie quasi picturale de Nicandre vers la rÃ©vÃ©lation dâune Ã©nergie latente, prÃ©sente, en mouvement.

Jacques GrÃ©vinâs translation of Nicanderâs Theriaca, which he based on the Latin translation of Jean de Gorris, was published together with his Deux livres des venins (1567-1568). In both works, GrÃ©vin â who was both a medical doctor wishing to express knowledge in the vernacular and a poet close to Ronsard and the PlÃ©iade â unites the domains of science and language by carefully choosing his terminology. Through his innovative descriptions, he aims to change the representation of the natural world. Adding on to the choices that were typically made in the contemporary naming of animals, GrÃ©vinâs descriptive, lexical, morphological, and syntactic choices demonstrate that he was not only an adept of francization. He strove to embed scientific knowledge in the French language, while at the same time mimicking the âGreek effectâ of the original words, playing with their foreign connotation. GrÃ©vin thus used the energy of the phrase to turn the almost visual taxonomy of Nicander into movement through the revelation of latent but present energy.
