Le présent ouvrage est issu de recherches menées dans le cadre de l'ancien projet 'CENOB' (Corpus des énoncés de noms barbares) soutenu par l'Agence Nationale de la Recherche. Par 'noms barbares', on désigne dans les religions anciennes des noms ou enoncés proférés, principalement en contexte rituel. et dont l'efficacité dépend d'une opacité sémantique. d'une étrangeté, voire d'une inintelligibilité. Afin de mesurer l'écart qui constitue le caractère 'barbare' de ces noms. cet ouvrage rassemble une série d'enquêtes sur divers dossiers - en majorité des textes médio- et néoplatoniciens - qui permettent de comprendre les théories à travers lesquelles l'Antiquité a pensé la relations. et principalement la communication, entre les divers êtres peuplant le Monde - hommes, démons et dieux - chacune de ces classes ayant sa langue, son mode d'expression. sa façon de se situer dans l'ordre hiérarchique du Réel et de se rapporter aux autres.

Do the terms 'pagan' and 'Christian,' 'transition from paganism to Christianity' still hold as explanatory devices to apply to the political, religious and cultural transformation experienced Empire-wise? Revisiting 'pagans' and 'Christians' in Late Antiquity has been a fertile site of scholarship in recent years: the paradigm shift in the interpretation of the relations between 'pagans' and 'Christians' replaced the old 'conflict model' with a subtler, complex approach and triggered the upsurge of new explanatory models such as multiculturalism, cohabitation, cooperation, identity, or group cohesion. This collection of essays, inscribes itself into the revisionist discussion of pagan-Christian relations over a broad territory and time-span, the Roman Empire from the fourth to the eighth century. A set of papers argues that if 'paganism' had never been fully extirpated or denied by the multiethnic educated elite that managed the Roman Empire, 'Christianity' came to be presented by the same elite as providing a way for a wider group of people to combine true philosophy and right religion. The speed with which this happened is just as remarkable as the long persistence of paganism after the sea-change of the fourth century that made Christianity the official religion of the State. For a long time afterwards, 'pagans' and 'Christians' lived 'in between' polytheistic and monotheist traditions and disputed Classical and non-Classical legacies.
