In this contribution, the author presents a short overview on Greek studies in fifteenth-and early sixteenth-century France. After that, a deep study of the content and the Greek sections of these letters is provided: in particular, the author focuses on the grammatical aspects, the style, and the models of these Greek parts. A comparison between Rabelais' and Budé's letters shows their different approaches to the so-called New Ancient Greek.

They give important insights that advance our understanding of the homogeneity despite diversity in the complex developments of classical reception, the study of Greek, its significance, and the practice of Greek in the various religious, cultural, and socio-political environments of the complicated spatio-temporal and geopolitical realities of Europe.
