English summary: This critical edition and French translation of the fourth-century Eunapius’s portraits of nine philosophers, ten sophists, and ten doctors, as well as others contributors to classical culture, offers an exceptional depiction of the micro-society of the pagan intelligentsia, as well as the philosophical and rhetorical practices of the period. French description: Dans ses Vies de philosophes et de sophistes, ecrites a la toute fin du IVe siecle en marge d’une Chronique du IVe s. en 14 livres dont il ne reste plus que de longs extraits, Eunape brosse le portrait de neuf philosophes (Plotin, Porphyre, Jamblique et leurs successeurs jusqu’a Chrysanthe de Sardes, le maitre d’Eunape), dix sophistes (dont Proheresios qui fut le maitre d’Eunape a Athenes, et Libanios) et cinq medecins (dont Oribase de Pergame, ami personnel d’Eunape). A ces vingt-quatre intellectuels s’ajoutent de nombreux personnages contemporains qui ont joue un role dans la vie de ces representants de la culture classique, probablement tous paiens, au sein de l’Empire chretien du IVe siecle. Les Vies constituent un temoignage exceptionnel sur la mentalite de cette micro-societe de l’intelligentsia paienne et sur les pratiques des milieux philosophiques et rhetoriques de l’epoque.Le texte etabli, traduit et commente par Richard Goulet, est fonde sur une nouvelle collation du Laurentianus Pluteus 86, 7, dont dependent tous les autres manuscrits conserves, et prend en compte une riche tradition philologique concernant l’etablissement du texte des Vies depuis l’editio princeps d’Hadrianus Junius en 1568.

Edited and translated by Richard Goulet

Drawing from an expertise acquired over almost 40 years of work on Eunapius, and being up-to-date on current research at the same time, Richard Goulet has laid a new textual foundation for all future studies on the Lives. His text surely is the best and most trustworthy text of the Lives that is currently available. Every page of these two fine volumes testifies to an extraordinary amount of devoted effort and to a great deal of scholarly industry. It is desirable that Goulet's edition will find widespread use among scholars and all readers who seek to learn more about a text that is equally important to the understanding of ancient Greek biographical writing, the history of Neoplatonism, the late antique educational system, and the varieties of pagan religious practices and attitudes within the context of an increasing Christianization of the Roman Empire. --Matthias Becker, University of Tubingen, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2015.03.30
