Les manuscrits syriaques de parchemin du Sinaï et leurs ‘membra disjecta’
By (author) P. Géhin
English summary: The book is devoted to the Syriac manuscripts written on parchment at the library of the monastery of St. Catherine in Sinai. The author aims to reconstruct the state of these manuscripts from the beginning of the 19th century, before fragmentation and dispersal took place. It offers specialists in the field a renewed and more stable base for future research. French description: L’ouvrage est consacre a une petite partie du riche patrimoine livresque de la bibliotheque du monastere de Sainte-Catherine au Sinai : les manuscrits syriaques ecrits sur parchemin. Beneficiant de l’apport des “Nouvelles decouvertes” de 1975 et de l’identification d’un grand nombre de membra disjecta presents dans les bibliotheques etrangeres, l’auteur s’emploie a reconstituer l’etat de ces manuscrits, tel qu’il devait etre au debut du 19e siecle, avant que ne s’opere un important processus de fragmentation et de dispersion. De contenu presque exclusivement religieux (biblique, patristique et liturgique), ces manuscrits sont des temoins precieux des usages du livre dans les communautes chretiennes de langue syriaque ; leur copie s’etend sur une periode de huit siecles (de l’extreme fin du 5e s. a la fin du 13e s.). Le travail de reconstitution ici entrepris donne une vue d’ensemble de la part ancienne du fonds syriaque de Sainte-Catherine, bien plus precise que l’inventaire sommaire d’Agnes Smith Lewis paru en 1894, et marque une etape importante vers la realisation d’un catalogue moderne. Il met en relation des fragments maintenant conserves a des milliers de kilometres de distance. Il offre aux specialistes (editeurs de textes, biblistes, liturgistes, historiens, codicologues) une base renouvelee et plus sure pour de futures recherchs.
