About Miroir de l'âme pécheresse
Miroir de l’âme pécheresse is a 1531 poem by Marguerite d'Angoulême. It was translated by the future Queen Elizabeth I in 1548 as A Godly Meditation of the Soul. Sorbonne theologians condemned the work as heresy. A monk said Marguerite should be sewn into a sack and thrown into the Seine. Students at the Collège de Navarre satirized her in a play as "a Fury from Hell". Her brother forced the charges to be dropped, however, and obtained an apology from the Sorbonne.
