Hardback, 352 p., 155 x 245 mm. ISBN 9782503010717. Ce volume reunit six commentaires sur l'Apocalypse qui s'echelonnent du milieu du VIe s. au debut du IXe s. Celui d'Apringius, compose dans les annees 530/540, n'est conserve qu'en partie dans un manuscrit d'epoque romane, qui a ete retrouve seulement au debut du siecle dernier et fort mal edite par son inventeur. C'est le plus original des commentateurs du haut moyen age, car c'est le seul qui ne connaisse pas Tyconius. L'interet des Complexiones composees par un Cassiodore vieillissant est beaucoup plus mince; ce n'est guere plus qu'un exercice de style, consistant a paraphraser ou a resumer le texte biblique. Le 'De monogramma' est un court texte, attribue erronement a Jerome par Dom Morin, qui l'avait decouvert a la suite de l'edition hieronymienne du commentaire de Victorin dans deux manuscrits anglais du 15e s. Comme l'indique le titre original de l'opuscule, conserve dans un manuscrit carolingien originaire de Saint-Denis, il s'agit d'un petit dossier extrait principalement des commentaires de Victorin, Tyconius et Primasius a propos d'un monogramme christique sous lequel se camouflerait l'antechrist, et que l'auteur met en relation avec le chiffre de la Bete selon Apc 13,18; sa principale utilite reside dans les extraits de Tyconius, dont ils devraient aider a reconstituer les explications sur ce verset; elles ont ete en bonne partie negligees par les imitateurs habituels du maitre africain, car le chiffre en question etait dans son texte 616 au lieu de 666. Au contraire des trois ouvrages precedents, qui ne sont conserves, pour les deux premiers, que par un temoin unique, et, pour le troisieme, par un tout petit nombre de manuscrits, le Commemoratorium de Apocalypsi Johannis, faussement attribue dans une branche secondaire de la tradition a saint Jerome, se lit encore dans dix-sept manuscrits. Plus qu'a ce patronage usurpe, qui ne couvre qu'une minorite d'exemplaires, il doit probablement son relatif succes, aux huitieme et neuvieme siecles, a sa brievete. Aux communautes qui n'avaient pas les moyens de s'offrir les volumineux commentaires de Primasius ou d'Ambroise, ni meme ceux, aux dimensions plus modestes, de Victorin-Jerome ou de Bede, il fournissait a peu de frais une grille de lecture de l'Apocalypse, qui pouvait difficilement s'en passer. Au depart, il se presentait sans doute sous la forme d'une glose, dont on a tire ulterieurement un texte suivi. La section consacree a l'Apocalypse dans les Pauca problesmata de enigmatibus ex tomis canonicis (plus connus sous la denomination de Das Bibelwerk ou The Reference Bible) s'inscrit dans la meme tradition que le Commemoratorium, tout comme celle qui figure dans une autre compilation exegetique sur l'ensemble des Ecritures, composee par Theodulphe d'Orleans. L'une et l'autre, pour etoffer les indications tres sommaires fournies par la glose precitee, puisent dans une Expositio in Apocalypsim de la premiere moitie du huitieme siecle, aujourd'hui perdue; celle-ci a servi egalement de modele a un commentaire anonyme conserve par un manuscrit de Cambridge, du dixieme siecle, que l'auteur se propose d'editer prochainement dans la Continuatio mediaevalis. La source commune a ces trois textes citait regulierement le commentaire de Tyconius dans sa teneur originale, alors que tous les epigones de celui-ci, hormis Beatus, ont filtre ce qui leur apparaissait inutile ou perime, notamment les allusions a la situation particuliere de l'Eglise nord-africaine a la fin du quatrieme siecle. On voit que la grande ombre de cet exegete hors du commun, qui a propose a l'Eglise latine une lecture ecclesiologique de l'Apocalypse, plane sur ce volume. Il devrait contribuer a reconstituer ce commentaire fondateur de la tradition exegetique occidentale, qu'aucun manuscrit, autant que nous sachions; n'a conserve jusqu'a nos jours.
