Goodmorning. I'm reading an article by Arnaud Beauville talking about the surfaces of general type. I've found this term and i'm not sure about the translation: What does it mean a " pinceau de courbes"?

As Nicky Hekster has rightly said, this translates as pencil of curves.

In case evidence is required for this claim, here is a monograph by O. Wittenberg whose French title is

Intersections de deux quadriques et pinceaux de courbes de genre 1

with the English subtitle

Intersections of two quadrics and pencils of curves of genus 1
