Guillaume Crétin

Guillaume Dubois or Guillaume Crétin (c. 1460 – 30 November 1525) was a French poet who is considered to belong to the school of the Grands Rhétoriqueurs ("rhetoricians").

Life

He was treasurer of the Sainte-Chapelle de Vincennes, then cantor of the Sainte-Chapelle de Paris and ordinary almoner to Francis I of France.

Of his work, mainly his 'chants royaux' (1527), praised by his contemporaries, survive. He was recognised as a master, notably by Jean Lemaire de Belges and Clément Marot. He is one of the great virtuosos of 'rime équivoquée' (for example, the Espistre à Honorat de la Jaille of circa 1510).

gollark: Skynet has:- very simple publish/subscribe mechanism- actual protocol documentation- good performance- working client codeSPUDNET has:- vastly complicated node.js monolith which fails to scale- client code rewritten repeatedly because it's more complex and needs different environment things- documentation scattered across random Discord channels, some of which doesn't mention important features, plus similarly scattered code samples- 17249182649124 kilofeatures such as private channels, comm mode, the reporting system, HTTP-only mode- better acronym- potatOS
gollark: It's outdated, SPUDNET is better anyway.
gollark: No, I made skynet, for purposes.
