Abstract

This work proposes to establish a parallel between Montaigne’s “American”
texts (“Dos Canibais” and “Dos Coches”) and the eighth chapter of The Truth of the
Christian Religion of Du Plessis-Mornay, entitled “From when the world had its
beginning”. From this comparison, we will seek in these chapters of the Essays the
elements that indicate the presence of the biblical context and the sacred history
in the lines between the text, but also its connection with the American continent.

Keywords : Montaigne, Du Plessis-Mornay, New World
