Philippe Desportes (1546-1606), considered by his contemporaries as the greatest living poet, ensures the literary transition between Ronsard and Malherbe. The design of Desportes was to give to the Catholics of France a translation which was the equivalent of that of Marot and Théodore de Bèze for the Reformed. Published for the first time in 1591, sixty in number, the psalms were increased to one hundred in 1598, and finally to one hundred and fifty in 1603.
