Quantitative Verse in a Quantity-Insensitive Language: Baif's "vers mesures."
Bullock, Barbara E.
Journal of French Language Studies, v7 n1 p23-45 Mar 1997
Analysis of the quantitative metrical verse of French Renaissance poet Jean-Antoine de Baif finds that the metrics, often seen as unscannable and using an incomprehensible phonetic orthography, derive largely from a system that is accentual, with the orthography permitting the poet to encode quantitative distinctions that coincide with the meter.
