Abstract

Des œuvres de Cyprien dont l’authenticité est assurée seul le De habitu uirginum restait inédit dans le CCSL. Au surplus, aucune édition critique n’en avait paru depuis celle autrefois procurée par Hartel (CSEL 3, 1, 1868). Les Pseudo-Cyprianea forment pour leur part un vaste ensemble, divers par les dates et les sujets des opuscules qui le composent. Nous en donnons trois ici : le sermon De laude martyrii, simple « Stilübung », peut-être ; l’Ad Vigilium episcopum de Iudaica incredulitate, préface à la traduction latine (perdue) du Dialogue de Jason et Papiscus ; le De rebaptismate, traité sur le baptême des hérétiques, et qui combat l’anabaptisme. Notre choix se justifie d’abord par la chronologie : ces traités ne sont pas éloignés de Cyprien dans le temps (Rebapt. a même toutes chances d’avoir été écrit du vivant de l’évêque, et en Afrique, contre lui). Il s’explique aussi (notamment pour Laud. mart.) par leur appartenance à la tradition textuelle de Cyprien : là, cependant, Rebapt. se distingue. Ce sont des œuvres mineures, mais qui jettent un jour précieux sur l’époque et le milieu où vécut Cyprien, sur l’influence de celui-ci, un témoignage sur la production latine chrétienne au milieu du IIIe siècle.

Abstract

L'auteur réévalue la place de Lactance et de ses Institutions divines dans l'histoire du christianisme au temps de Constantin et d'Eusèbe. Partant de la pragmatique du discours apologétique - par définition en situation et "engagé" -, elle appréhende ce théologien latin et laïc dans sa référence constante à Cicéron pour défendre la iustitia et la religio chrétiennes face à ses lecteurs païens. Elle interroge le rhéteur dans sa prétention à être un apologiste "efficace", en particulier contre la difficulté ouvertement soulevée de faire entendre la Bible à des lettrés qui en dédaignaient le texte.Elle explique par quelle stratégie discursive - mêlant histoire et mythes, valeurs communes et concepts inédits - ce maître de rhétorique à la cour impériale a su imaginer, à la croisée de l'histoire et de l'épistémologie, le bouleversement religieux encore impensé qu'il croyait près d'advenir à Rome, et de là, comment amener Romains, chrétiens et juifs à le concevoir.

Abstract

In Augustine’s Cyprian Matthew Gaumer retraces how Augustine of Hippo devised the ultimate strategy to suppress Donatist Christianity, an indigenous form of the religion in ancient North Africa. Spanning nearly forty years, Augustine’s entire clerical career was spent combating the Donatists and seeking the dominance of the Catholic Church in North Africa. Through a variety of approaches Augustine evolved a method to successfully outlaw and deconstruct the Donatist Church’s organisation. This hinged on concerted preaching, tract writing, integrating Roman imperial authorities, and critically: by denying the Donatists’ exclusive claim to Cyprian of Carthage. Re-appropriation of Cyprian’s authority required Augustine and his allies to re-write history and pose positions contrary to Cyprian’s. In the end, Cyprian was the Donatists’ no longer.

Scepticisme et religion : constantes et évolutions, de la philosophie hellénistique à la philosophie médiévale

Abstract

Dans le langage commun, le scepticisme apparaît comme l’opposé de la religion. Cette opposition est le produit d’une histoire, d’une relation diachronique aussi tumultueuse que forte. La richesse de ce processus a été mise en évidence par les travaux, notamment de Popkin, portant sur la Renaissance et le « libertinage ». En revanche, la question a été beaucoup moins approfondie pour l’Antiquité et le Moyen Âge. Les contributions réunies dans ce volume, qui vont de la philosophie hellénistique à la philosophie médiévale, visent donc à repenser sans préjugé la totalité du problème, avec l’espoir d’aboutir à une représentation nouvelle du lien ou de l’absence de lien entre ces deux éléments fondamentaux de la pensée occidentale.

Abstract

Worried that old age will inevitably mean losing your libido, your health, and possibly your marbles too? Well, Cicero has some good news for you. In How to Grow Old, the great Roman orator and statesman eloquently describes how you can make the second half of life the best part of all-and why you might discover that reading and gardening are actually far more pleasurable than sex ever was.Filled with timeless wisdom and practical guidance, Cicero's brief, charming classic-written in 44 BC and originally titled On Old Age-has delighted and inspired readers, from Saint Augustine to Thomas Jefferson, for more than two thousand years. Presented here in a lively new translation with an informative new introduction and the original Latin on facing pages, the book directly addresses the greatest fears of growing older and persuasively argues why these worries are greatly exaggerated-or altogether mistaken.Montaigne said Cicero's book "gives one an appetite for growing old." The American founding father John Adams read it repeatedly in his later years. And today its lessons are more relevant than ever in a world obsessed with the futile pursuit of youth.
