Appeals for pity in the Heptameron
Renascence, Spring 2001 by Baker, Mary J
13) Quint states that his book can be read as "an extended commentary" of "Par divers moyens on arrive a pareille fin." He claims that the other essays he examines replay "with variations the opening scenario of warring enemies" (ix). One reservation I have with regard to this generally admirable study is the absence of a distinction between mercy and pity. A more sustained discussion differentiating those who seek clemency from those who demonstrate it would also have been helpful.
