Add to basketPaperback. English summary: Gaza was a cultural crossroads during late Antiquity, open to a number of literary and religious traditions. The present volume offers an extensive selection of texts drawn from the school of Gaza and written by Procopius of Gaza (470-530) on subjects ranging from imperial panegyrics to descriptions of art works. This critical edition and French translation is accompanied by copious analyses and bibliographical references. French description: Carrefour de peuples et de cultures differentes, la cite de Gaza, a la veille de la conquete arabe (634), abrita une vie intellectuelle raffinee et creative, ouverte au dialogue entre traditions litteraires et religieuses heterogenes. Premier d'une serie dediee a la redecouverte de ce phenomene culturel riche et complexe qu'on designe sous le nom d''Ecole de Gaza', le present volume rassemble la production profane (trois dialexeis, quatre ethopees, deux descriptions d'uvres d'art, les restes d'un discours de bienvenue, un epithalame et sa probable prolalia, un panegyrique imperial, deux monodies et tous les fragments de tradition indirecte) de Procope de Gaza (470 ca.-530 ca.), l'un des representants les plus illustres de la cite palestinienne dans l'Antiquite Tardive, connu aussi par ses commentaires exegetiques aux Ecritures. Par rapport aux precedentes editions, notre edition est enrichie de deux nouveaux textes, l'Epithalame pour Meles et Antonina (op. XIII dans l'edition presente) et la courte dialexis introductive (op. XII), decouverts en automne de 2011 respectivement par E. Amato et A. Corcella et jusqu'ici jamais commentees et traduits en francais. La paternite procopienne de deux monodies anonymes (op. XIV et XV), autrefois attribuees a Choricios de Gaza, a fait en meme temps l'objet d'une solide demonstration. On ajoutera la decouverte exceptionnelle, en 2012, par E. Amato, dans le Vat. Lat. 9781, d'une copie du Vat. gr. 1898, le seul manuscrit transmettant les op. I a X de Procope. Malgre sa date tres recente (il a ete copie, entre 1804 et 1834, par le paleographe et erudit italien Girolamo Amati), il apporte davantage a l'etablissement du texte des opuscules de Procope que son antigraphe, fort abime non seulement par l'usure du temps mais aussi par les reactifs chimiques (la teinture de galle) utilises par le Cardinal Angelo Mai. Voila qui justifie pleinement une nouvelle edition des discours et des fragments de Procope d'autant plus que la traduction qu'on presente ici est, pour l'ensemble, la premiere en francais. Le present volume inaugure, au sein de la serie grecque de la CUF, la publication de l'ensemble des ecrivains de l'Ecole de Gaza dans l'Antiquite Tardive. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
