Qui veut comprendre la magie antique, les sociétés et cultures qui s’y rattachent, qui veut aller au-delà des apparences et des clichés, rencontre nécessairement les noms « barbares », dits aussi noms mystiques ou inintelligibles. Leur finalité première est d’opérer des prodiges par l’efficacité attribuée aux énoncés de noms divins. Peu de gens ont vu les prodiges, mais tout le monde connaît au moins quelqu’un qui les a vus : qu’il s’agisse d’apparitions de divinités, d’animaux qui parlent ou encore d’humains entrant dans la vie de l’univers. Aucune de ces opérations ne s’effectue sans noms barbares.Pour la première fois, un ouvrage tente de comprendre le rôle et les mécanismes des noms barbares comme magie de nommer. Ils sont l’objet magique par excellence, fait de jeux de signes et de phonèmes, de transferts d’un panthéon à l’autre et de fusions des dynasties divines. Invoquer ses propres dieux dans un langage étrange, par des raccourcis phonétiques ou bien en utilisant les noms et épithètes des dieux des autres est le trait distinctif de la magie et de ses professionnels, de l’Orient gréco‑sémitique à l’Occident latin.

The question of how pure spiritual beings like angels communicate had already been discussed by the Church Fathers. How could an angelic speech-act take place, if it does not follow the laws of ordinary language? The scholastic philosophers conducted an extensive and rather controversial debate about the language of angels ('locutio angelica'), which covered pragmatics, aspects of the 'Language of Mind' and the theory of truth and meaning. This debate was already very complex in the Middle Ages, but in Jesuit circles (and in Baroque Scholasticism more generally), discussions of angelic communication became a leading field of interest in the philosophy of language influencing such eminent thinkers as Leibniz. This study reconstructs the 1500 years of controversy on the language of angels as a striking example of the longue durée of European intellectual history.
