Discovered in a Coptic manuscript from the 4th century, the text called Eugnostos is certainly of older origin and can be dated to the first half of the second century AD. It is characterized by the importance given to the myth of Primeval Man, who is the manifest form of the supreme God. This volume analyzes the version of the Eugnostos text preserved in the Codices III and V from Nag Hammadi. French text.
English summary: Discovered in a Coptic manuscript from the 4th century, the text called Eugnostos is characterized by the importance given to the myth of Primeval Man, who is the manifest form of the supreme God. This volume analyzes the version of the Eugnostos text preserved in the Codices III and V from Nag Hammadi. French description: Decouvert dans un manuscrit copte du IVe siecle de notre ere, le texte intitule Eugnoste est sans doute plus ancien. Il se caracterise par l’importance accordee au mythe de l’Homme primordial qui est la forme manifestee du Dieu supreme. Il touche la question, chaudement debattue depuis l’Ecole d’Histoire des Religions en Allemagne, des liens entre christianisme et gnosticisme, a propos du mythe de l’Homme celeste ou du Redempteur-rachete. Le milieu de production pourrait etre Alexandrie. Proche d’un judaisme platonisant, tel qu’on le trouve chez Philon d’Alexandrie, il enseigne un christianisme susceptible de plaire et d’attirer ce genre de milieu. Les doctrines philosophiques, issues du Moyen Platonisme, de meme que les paralleles dans la litterature patristique nous incitent a le dater de la premiere moitie du second siecle de notre ere. Comme Eugnoste a fait l’objet de plusieurs reecritures, sont analysees dans ce volume la version du codex III de Nag Hammadi (NH III, 3) ainsi que celle du codex V (NH V, 1). Un chapitre est egalement consacre a la doctrine baptismale qui se trouve dans une autre reecriture, celle de la Sagesse de Jesus-Christ (BG, 3; NH III, 4).
