English summary: These 52 original documents, presented here in French translation, trace the history of Mesopotamia from the twenty-first to the second century BCE. Punctuated by battles, uprisings, and violence, the texts likewise describe epidemics, social movements, even meteorological events. French description: Traduits pour la premiere fois en francais et precedes d’un essai sur l’historiographie mesopotamienne, 52 documents. Echelonnes entre le XXIe siecle et le IIe siecle avant J.-C., ils retracent l’histoire de la Mesopotamie depuis ses plus lointaines origines, lorsque les dieux creaient la royaute, jusqu’a la fin de l’Empire seleucide et l’arrivee des Parthes. Ce sont autant de fragments d’une tumultueuse histoire, celle de royaumes belliqueux et conquerants, celle aussi de la fondation et de la chute de puissants royaumes.Une histoire ponctuee de batailles, de sieges de villes, d’usurpateurs, de soulevements, de retournements d’alliances, de morts violentes. On y trouve aussi mention de faits de nature plus variee: la lente derive mentale d’un souverain babylonien, des epidemies, des mouvements de panique, des indications meteorologiques.
