French description: Compose a Constantinople vers 619 apr. J.-C., le commentaire aux Tables Faciles de Ptolemee attribue a Stephanos d’Alexandrie est le premier traite byzantin d’astronomie. Il s’agit d’un mode d’emploi des tables de Ptolemee, redige dans un cadre scolaire et laisse a l’etat de premiere ebauche. Fonde sur le Petit Commentaire de Theon d’Alexandrie, le texte est une adaptation des calculs astronomiques aux coordonnees de la capitale byzantine. L’auteur livre les procedes de calcul a partir des Tables Faciles ainsi qu’un exemple pour chaque probleme probleme astronomique. L’originalite du manuel est le nombre d’exemples donnes, l’emploi de tables speciales pour le climat de Byzance et de l’ere chronologique de Constantin le Grand, et l’ajout de quelques scolies par l’empereur Heraclius. Cet ouvrage presente une etude de la tradition manuscrite et l’histoire du texte ainsi qu’une edition critique avec traduction francaise des chapitres 1 a 16 du manuel. Ceux-ci ont pour sujet les sections et la conversion du temps, l’horoscope, la culmination, la longitude solaire et lunaire, l’oblique du Soleil, la latitude de la Lune, les syzygies, les parallaxes et l’eclipse de Lune, et sont accompagnes d’un commentaire detaille. Les chapitres 17 a 30 feront d’une publication ulterieure.
