Abstract

L'un des plus grands mythes de notre littérature trouve son origine historique dans un personnage fantasque, mi-charlatan, mi-homme de science et de culture, le docteur Faust de Kundling. Mais les développements littéraires qui ont suivi sa mort singulière se sont appuyés sur différentes figures qui appartiennent au fonds commun de notre culture occidentale. Au premier rang d'entre elles, celle de Simon le Magicien, connue à travers les Actes des apôtres, la tradition hérésiologique (Justin, Irénée), et surtout le Roman pseudo-clémentin. C'est en effet dans cet ouvrage que l'auteur du premier récit sur Faust, le Faustbuch (1587), a puisé nombre des traits qu'il attribue à son anti-héros : le nom même de Faustus (bien attesté par ailleurs comme patronyme du magicien), les pratiques magiques et l'asservissement au démon, mais aussi la présence à ses côtés d'Hélène de Troie, la compagne de Simon. Cette confusion permit à l'auteur une nouvelle assimilation, celle de Faust avec le pape Alexandre VI Borgia, coupable de simonie. L'ouvrage retrace ce parcours littéraire, depuis les Actes des apôtres jusqu'au Faustbuch et quelques-uns des auteurs qui s'en sont inspirés (Marlowe, Goethe, Flaubert, Anatole France).

Abstract

Around the turn of the fifth century, Christian theologians and churchmen contested each other's orthodoxy and good repute by hurling charges of "Origenism" at their opponents. And although orthodoxy was more narrowly defined by that era than during Origen's lifetime in the third century, his speculative, Platonizing theology was not the only issue at stake in the Origenist controversy: "Origen" became a code word for nontheological complaints as well. Elizabeth Clark explores the theological and extra-theological implications of the dispute, uses social network analysis to explain the personal alliances and enmities of its participants, and suggests how it prefigured modern concerns with the status of representation, the social construction of the body, and praxis vis--vis theory. Shaped by the Trinitarian and ascetic debates, and later to influence clashes between Augustine and the Pelagians, the Origenist controversy intersected with patristic campaigns against pagan "idolatry" and Manichean and astrological determinism. Discussing Evagrius Ponticus, Epiphanius, Theophilus, Jerome, Shenute, and Rufinus in turn, Clark concludes by showing how Augustine's theory of original sin reconstructed the Origenist theory of the soul's pre-existence and "fall" into the body.Originally published in 1992.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
