Review - French Traites sur les pierres precieuses, les lapidaires recensent et decrivent les gemmes, puis presentent leurs vertus medicinales et magiques. Les plus anciens traites en langue romane sont ceux de Philippe de Thaon, au XIIsiecle. A la meme epoque, l'ouvrage mediolatin de l'eveque Marbode de Rennes,De Lapidibus, connait de multiples traductions, qui remettent le genre a la mode pendant tout le Moyen Age. Le tres pieux XIIIsiecle donne naissance auLapidaire chretien; le XIVsiecle livre une somme mineralogique attribuee a Jean de Mandeville. La traduction de ces cinq lapidaires, pour certains inedits, permet d'acceder a ces textes difficiles et de mesurer leur importance pour l'histoire des sciences et des mentalites.
