Cette Histoire de la littérature grecque chrétienne présente en six volumes l'ensemble des textes et des auteurs chrétiens des premiers siècles, depuis les origines (les lettres de paul, les évangiles) jusqu'au concile de Chalcédoine (451). L’importance et l’intérêt de ces différents écrits ne sont plus guère contestés aujourd’hui, aussi bien pour connaître la naissance et l’évolution des dogmes du christianisme, dont ils sont les principaux témoins, que pour apprécier son apport spirituel ou son héritage dans la culture occidentale. La présente édition comporte de nombreux compléments et mises à jour par rapport à la précédente (Paris, 2008 et 2013), affirmant ainsi son rôle d’instrument de travail tant pour le grand public que pour les chercheurs confirmés.

Nicephorus Blemmydes was born as the second son of a doctor in Constantinople at the very end of the twelfth century. In December 1224 he was ordained lector by patriarch Germanus II, which marked the beginning of a successful career in the Church, culminating in the foundation of his own monastery near Ephesus. Teaching, both on theological and secular topics, played a major part in his life as well. Among his pupils were George Acropolites and the future emperor Theodore II Lascaris. In order to instruct his fellow monks in his monastery, Blemmydes wrote, among other things, four brief treatises, entitled De fide, De virtute et ascesi, De anima and De corpore, each of which may originally have been part of his Typikon, but has also been circulating independently. Up to now, only the De anima has been decently edited.This volume presents the first critical edition of the De virtute et ascesi of Nicephorus Blemmydes, previously only available in the, at several places deficient, edition of 1784 by Dorotheos Voulismas. The Greek text is preceded by a detailed analysis of the manuscript tradition. Special attention is also given to the indirect tradition of this ethical treatise. The reason is that Nicephorus' treatise has been included in full in the Synopsis Variarum Disciplinarum by the philosopher-monk Joseph Rhacendytes (ca. 1260-1330). The main difference is the addition by Joseph of a passage from the opuscule Ad sanctissimum presbyterum Marinum of Maximus the Confessor (CPG 7697.1) after the introductory part of Blemmydes’ De virtute et ascesi. Also Joseph’s De virtute is presented here for the first time in a critical edition.

Les prédicateurs et les poètes du XVIIe siècle portent un intérêt marqué aux discours savants sur la vision et aux jeux d'optique. Ils y voient en réalité la clé des mystères chrétiens. Avant 1630, ils louent Dieu par le biais de similitudes rhétoriques avec le soleil, puis l'évolution du goût et de la science substitue au thème de la lumière un cabinet d'optique curieuse : miroirs magiques et anamorphoses représentent alors la difficile connaissance du Dieu caché. Après 1630, le socratisme chrétien cherche à le voir au miroir de l'homme. Finalement, l'augustinisme, la crise de l'analogie, et la sensibilité galante fragilisent cette rhétorique de l'optique, au profit de métaphores évoquant les clairs-obscurs de la foi.

The Roman emperor Constantius II (337-361) has frequently been maligned as a heretic, standing in sharp contrast to his father Constantine I, who set in motion the Christianisation of the Roman world and the establishment of Nicene orthodoxy. This reputation is the result of the overwhelmingly negative presentation of Constantius in the surviving literature written by orthodox Christians, who regarded him as an 'Arian' persecutor. This volume presents new translations of texts that were central to the shaping of this hostile legacy: Athanasius of Alexandria's History of the Arians, Hilary of Poitiers' Against Constantius and Lucifer of Cagliari's The Necessity of Dying for the Son of God. These contemporary invectives against the emperor were composed by three bishops who all opposed Constantius' religious policies and were exiled by the imperial and ecclesiastical authorities during the 350s. By constructing polemical accounts of their sufferings at the hands of the emperor and his supporters, these authors drew on the traditions of both classical rhetoric and Christian persecution literature in order to cast Constantius as imitating villains such as Ahab, Judas and Nero, while presenting themselves as fearless opponents of impious tyranny. Moreover, as the earliest surviving invectives against a living Roman emperor, the writings of these three bishops offer a unique opportunity to understand the place of polemical literature in the political culture of the later Roman empire. The translations are accompanied by a substantial introduction and notes which provide a clear guide to the historical and theological context of the period, as well as literary analysis of the texts themselves. This volume will therefore be valuable both to those studying the religious and political history of Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages and also to anyone interested in the development of Roman rhetoric and early Christian literature. -b32549465-Publisher.

Rome ne s'est pas construite en trois jours. La doctrine chrétienne non plus. L'Eglise telle que nous la connaissons aujourd'hui, organisée autour de trois confessions (catholique, orthodoxe, protestante), établie sur des dogmes et structurée par des hiérarchies, s'est bâtie sur plusieurs siècles entre débats, volonté d'unité et désaccords profonds. D'Origène à Augustin, en passant par Ignace, Irénée ou encore Basile de Césarée, parcourant le IIe siècle jusqu'au Ve, du monde latin au monde hellénophone, de l'Orient à l'Occident, cette étude réunit les meilleurs spécialistes qui présentent des exemples significatifs de constructions doctrinales dans l'Antiquité chrétienne. Ces débats nourrissent l'élaboration d'une théologie qui, par des voies diverses, a atteint en trois siècles sa maturité intellectuelle et spirituelle. Les premiers siècles de notre ère ont certainement été ceux qui ont le plus marqué l'histoire du christianisme, cet ouvrage les met en lumière.
