Abstract

This book examines Ancient Egyptian and Greek proverbs, as they are found in wisdom collections, circulating in Egypt and Greece of the Hellenistic and Roman periods. Its examination compares the proverbs’ grammar, structure, style, theme and usage within the collections. This multi-leveled comparison results in the indentification of a great number of similarities and differences that are interpreted in cultural terms, that is, through their association with the cultural context of production and usage of the proverbs. Hence this study offers an original insight into the literary production in Ancient Egypt and Greece, comparing the manner Egyptian and Greek authors conveyed timeless wisdom and reconsidering the status of cultural contact between these two ancient Mediterranean civilizations.

Abstract

Les sagesses démotiques sont des recueils de proverbes attestés uniquement dans l`Égypte grecque et romaine. Nous avons repris l`analyse de ce dossier sous l`angle de la composition des proverbes. Ceci aboutit à isoler différentes strophes et à mettre en lumière différents procédés mnémotechniques. En effet, comme Henri Irénée Marrou l`avait montré pour le monde grec classique, la récitation devait jouer un grand rôle dans les écoles des temples de l`Égypte hellénistique. Retrouvant le thème de la "gymnastic of the mind" de R. Cribiore, on peut comparer les méthodes d`apprentissage des textes littéraires en vigueur dans les gymnases grecs et les temples égyptiens.
