Abstract

Dans ses Vies de philosophes et de sophistes, écrites à la toute fin du IVe siècle en marge d'une Chronique du IVe s. en 14 livres dont il ne reste plus que de longs extraits, Eunape brosse le portrait de neuf philosophes (Plotin, Porphyre, Jamblique et leurs successeurs jusqu'à Chrysanthe de Sardes, le maître d'Eunape), dix sophistes (dont Prohérésios qui fut le maître d'Eunape à Athènes, et Libanios) et cinq médecins (dont Oribase de Pergame, ami personnel d'Eunape). À ces vingt-quatre intellectuels s’ajoutent de nombreux personnages contemporains qui ont joué un rôle dans la vie de ces représentants de la culture classique, probablement tous païens, au sein de l’Empire chrétien du IVe siècle. Les Vies constituent un témoignage exceptionnel sur la mentalité de cette « micro-société » de l’intelligentsia païenne et sur les pratiques des milieux philosophiques et rhétoriques de l’époque. Le texte établi, traduit et commenté par Richard Goulet, est fondé sur une nouvelle collation du Laurentianus Pluteus 86, 7, dont dépendent tous les autres manuscrits conservés, et prend en compte une riche tradition philologique concernant l’établissement du texte des Vies depuis l’editio princeps d’Hadrianus Junius en 1568.

Abstract

"Flavius Philostratus, known as "the Elder" or "the Athenian," was born to a distinguished family with close ties to Lesbos in the later second century, and died around the middle of the third. A sophist who studied at Athens and later lived in Rome, Philostratus provides in Lives of the Sophists a treasury of information about notable practitioners. His sketches of sophists in action paint a fascinating picture of their predominant influence in the educational, social, and political life of the Empire in his time. He is almost certainly the author also of the Life of Apollonius of Tyana (LCL 16, 17, 458) and Heroicus and Gymnasticus (LCL 521). Eunapius (ca. 345-415) was born in Sardis but studied and spent much of his life in Athens as a sophist and historian. His Lives of Philosophers and Sophists covers figures of personal or intellectual significance to him in the period from Plotinus (ca. 250) to Chrystanthus (ca. 380), including one remarkable woman, Sosipatra, and then focuses on Iamblichus and his students. The work's underlying rationale combines personal devotion to teachers and colleagues with a broader attempt to rehabilitate Hellenic cultural icons against the rise of Christianity and the influence of its representatives. This edition of Philostratus and Eunapius thoroughly revises the original edition by Wilmer C. Wright (1921) in light of modern scholarship"--
