GILBERT. Ovid's Lovers. Heroic Pastoral. Paris, Claude Barbin, 1663, in-32, [8]-212 p., full vellum at the time. Rare. "It is obvious that Gilbert's play Les Amours d'Ovide had an influence on Molière's Le Festin de Pierre ou Dom Juan and thus indirectly on Mozart's opera Don Giovanni. The pastoral occupies an intermediate chronological place between the play Del burlador de Sevilla by Tirso de Molina, which dates from around 1630, and the importation of the myth of Don Juan into France. Later, Molière, for his part, synthesised the Spanish aspects, transmitted by the Italian pieces, and the character traits of the gallant man Ovid, described by Gilbert, which was made possible by the existence of many points in common in nature between Don Juanism and gallantry. "Valérie Louchart, master's thesis. Paris, Sorbonne, 2004.
