Abstract
This article explores the relation between poetry, place, and the concept of epigram as site-specific writing in the Coryciana. Published in 1524 in an edition assembled by Blosius Palladius, this multi-author, predominantly epigrammatic collection in honour of the humanist and apostolic protonotary Johann Goritz focuses on two prime sites within the city of Renaissance Rome: Goritz’s column chapel in Sant’Agostino, and his vineyard-villa near Trajan’s Forum. The poets and editors of the Coryciana participate in a collaborative placemaking project, plotting Goritz’s new sites of piety and culture in relation to the places of Greco-Roman antiquity and the modern city. At the same time, they represent the collection itself as a textual space, imbued with the commemorative, encyclopedic, and canonizing capacities of sites and built structures in ancient and contemporary Rome.

Résumé
Cet article explore la relation entre la poésie, le lieu et le concept d’épigramme comme « écriture propre au lieu » dans les Coryciana. Publié en 1524 dans une édition préparée par Blosius Palladius, ce recueil collectif principalement composé d’épigrammes et préparé en l’honneur de l’humaniste et protonotaire apostolique Johann Goritz se concentre sur deux sites majeurs de la Rome renaissante : la chapelle de Goritz à Sant’Agostino et sa villa-vignoble près du forum de Trajan. Les poètes et les éditeurs des Coryciana participent à un projet collectif d’aménagement de l’espace, déterminant les nouveaux sites de piété et de culture de Goritz en relation avec les lieux de l’Antiquité gréco-romaine et de la cité moderne. Ils représentent en même temps le recueil lui-même comme un espace textuel, imprégné des capacités commémoratives et encyclopédiques ainsi que de la faculté de canonisation des sites et des bâtiments de la Rome ancienne et contemporaine.
