English summary: Marguerite Poretes Mirror of Simple Souls is an exceptional work of medieval literature, a fundamental text of Western mysticism written by woman condemned to the stake for her work. The articles collected in this volume bring new light to Marguerites political and social horizons, her theological and literary culture. Three articles offer new interpretations of her trial, one offers critical corrections to the scholarly edition of her text, while others examine the circulation and readership of Mirror to better understand its impact. French description: Redecouvert et publie par l’historienne italienne Romana Guarnieri au milieu du XXe siecle, le Miroir des simples ames de Marguerite Porete est un ouvrage hors du commun a plusieurs egards : chef d’oeuvre de la litterature medievale en langue francaise, texte fondamental de la mystique occidentale, il offre egalement le cas exceptionnel d’une oeuvre speculative redigee par une femme au Moyen Age. De son auteur, on ne sait presque rien, si ce n’est qu’elle fut sans doute beguine a Valenciennes ou dans les environs et qu’elle refusa de parler pour se defendre lors de son proces. Condamnee par l’inquisiteur de France pour avoir persiste a diffuser un livre deja condamne, elle fut brulee en place de Greve le 1er juin 1310. Les articles reunis dans ce volume sont pour partie issus d’un colloque international organise a Paris pour marquer le septieme centenaire de sa condamnation. Ils apportent de nouveaux eclairages sur les horizons politiques et sociaux de Marguerite, sa culture theologique et litteraire. Trois articles proposent une interpretation a nouveaux frais de son proces. Une etude des etats de langue francaise dans lesquels est conserve son texte permet d’apporter une serie de corrections a l’edition Guarnieri. Des travaux sur la circulation du Miroir dans l’Angleterre du XIVe siecle et dans le Val de Loire aux XVe et XVIe siecles font mieux saisir l’impact qu’a eu cette oeuvre majeure
