Interprétations de Moïse: Égypte, Judée, Grèce Et Rome

The present volume is the result of a team research which gathered biblical scholars, philologists, and historians of religions, on the issue of the multiple "Interpretations of Moses" inherited from the ancient mediterranean cultures. The concrete outcome of this comparative inquiry is the common translation and commentary of the fragments from the works of the mysterious Artapanus. The comparative perspective suggested here is not so much methodological, or thematic. It is first of all an invitation to cross disciplinary boundaries and to take account of the contributions of diverse cultures to the formation of a single mythology, in the case, a Moses mythology. With respect to Judea, Greece, Egypt or Rome, and further more an emerging christianity and its "gnostic" counterpart, the figure of Moses is at the heart of a cross-cultural dialogue the pieces of which, if they can be seperated for the confort of their specific study, mostly gain by being put together. Ce volume est le fruit d un travail d quipe, qui a r uni des biblistes, des philologues, et des historiens des religions autour des multiples Interpr tations de Mo se que nous ont l gu es les cultures de la M diterran e antique. Le r sultat pratique de cette enqu te comparatiste culmine dans la traduction et le commentaire douze mains des fragments du myst rieux Artapan, qui ouvrent le volume. Le comparatisme propos dans le pr sent volume ne se veut ni m thodologique ni th matique, mais vise d abord franchir les fronti res disciplinaires, tout en envisageant les apports culturels respectifs contribuant la formation d une mythologie, en l occurrence celle de Mo se. Entre la Jud e, l Egypte, la Gr ce, Rome, et bien-s r le christianisme naissant et l univers gnostique qui l accompagne, la figure de Mo se est au c ur d un dialogue, dont les pi ces, si elles peuvent tre disjointes pour la commodit de l tude, gagnent surtout tre rapproch es.
