Abstract

Le "Livre de l'Échelle de Mahomet" appartient à la littérature du miraj, ensemble de récits en arabe relatant l'ascension jusqu'à Dieu du prophète Mahomet durant un voyage nocturne. L'original en est perdu, mais on en connaît une traduction latine du XIIIe siècle. C'est elle qui est éditée et traduite en français dans le présent volume. Ce beau texte étrange et envoûtant est d'un intérêt exceptionnel. Il illustre une tradition islamique à la fois importante et marginale. Il est riche d'un imaginaire foisonnant. Il témoigne des efforts de l'Occident médiéval pour connaître l'Islam et mérite particulièrement à ce titre l'attention du lecteur d'aujourd'hui.

Abstract

This monograph represents a critical juncture in Thomas studies since it dispels the belief that the Gospel of Thomas originates from gnostic traditions. Rather, Jewish mystical and Hermetic origins are proposed and examined. Following this analysis, the anthropogony and soteriology of Thomas are discussed. The Thomasites taught that they were the elect children of the Father, originating from the Light. The human, however, became unworthy of these luminous beginnings and was separated from the divine when Adam sinned. Now he must purify himself by leading an encratite lifestyle. He is to ascend into heaven, seeking a visio dei which will transform him into his original immortal state and grant him citizenship in the Kingdom.
