Apocalypse et littérature au Moyen Âge : réception de l’imaginaire apocalyptique dans la littérature française des XIIe et XIIIe siècles / Apocalypse and Literature in the Middle Ages : reception of the Apocalyptic Imagination in the Twelfth and Thirteenth-Century French Literature

Bergot, Louis-Patrick 03 December 2018 (has links)
Parmi les nombreuses apocalypses composées durant l’Antiquité judéo-chrétienne, seules l’Apocalypse de Jean et l’Apocalypse de Paul (par l’intermédiaire de la Vision de saint Paul) ont bénéficié de traductions en ancien français. Leur réception textuelle fait l’objet dans ce travail d’un classement exhaustif et d’une étude détaillée. En raison de leur succès, ces deux apocalypses ont laissé une empreinte durable dans les mentalités médiévales, car elles répondaient à deux préoccupations majeures : le Jugement collectif (Apocalypse johannique) et le Jugement individuel (apocalypse paulinienne). Elles ont donné naissance à un imaginaire dont on peut déceler la trace dans la littérature française du Moyen Âge grâce à une approche intertextuelle. Plusieurs pans de la littérature médiévale recourent à cet imaginaire, qu’il s’agisse de la littérature visionnaire (avec La Vision de Tondale et Le Purgatoire de saint Patrick), de la littérature allégorique (dans La Tournoi de l’Antéchrist et Le Roman de la Rose) ou de la littérature didactique et religieuse (dans La Somme le roi, les sermons ou les épîtres farcies). L’imaginaire apocalyptique imprègne ainsi une part considérable de la littérature de cette époque, de telle sorte qu’on peut l’envisager comme un univers mental autonome, riche de motifs, de lieux, de créatures, et parfois d’inquiétudes. De texte en texte, cet imaginaire s’est propagé au gré de strates intertextuelles que la philologie est en mesure de distinguer. Mais ce réseau complexe d’interférences ne doit pas nous faire oublier que la réception de l’imaginaire apocalyptique ne s’appréhende pas uniquement à une échelle textuelle. Elle met aussi en jeu des mécanismes cognitifs comme la compréhension, la représentation ou l’imagination. / Among the numerous apocalypses written during the Judeo-Christian Antiquity, only the Revelation of John and the Apocalypse of Paul (through the Vision of Paul) got old french translations. In this work, their textual reception is the subject of a complete inventory and a detailed study. Because of their success, both left a durable trace in the medieval mindset, as they solved two major concerns : collective judgement (Johannine Apocalypse) and individual jugdement (paulinian apocalypse). They gave birth to an imaginary world which can be detected in medieval french literature thanks to an intertextual approach. Many parts of the medieval literature use this imagination : the visionary literature (in the Vision of Tondale and St Patrick’s Purgatory), the allegoric literature (in the Tournoi de l’Antéchrist and the Roman de la Rose) or the didactic and religious literature (in the Somme le roi, the homilies and the “épîtres farcies”). The apocalyptic imagination thus spreads through a considerable part of this literature, and therefore we can consider it as an independent world of the mind, full of motives, places, creatures, and sometimes fears. From a text to another, this imagination has disseminated according to intertextual levels which can be distinguished by philology. But this complex web of correlations must not make us forget that the reception of the apocalyptic imagination is not only accessible from a textual viewpoint. It also employs cognitive mechanisms like understanding, representation and imagination.

The nature of the community of the Dead Sea scrolls (with particular reference to the manual of discipline) and its relation to the church of the New Testament

Draper, Jonathan A January 1977 (has links)
The scope of our examination of the ideas and beliefs of the Qumran sect and the Church of the New Testament is limited to what contributes to our understanding of the nature of the respective communities. No attempt is made to present a full theological examination of the concepts which arise. The aim is not an exhaustive treatment, but rather to suggest areas where the beliefs of the communities throw light on each other. Our method is to begin by establishing the beliefs of the Qumran sect in each case, with particular reference to the Manual of Discipline, and then comparing this with the corresponding concept in the New Testament. This avoids the danger of reading back later Christian ideas into our treatment of the Scrolls. In our examination of the New Testament texts, we shall not assume that they constitute a unity nor that they can be taken at face value, but that they bear the marks of the interests of the early Church and of the conflicting tendencies and practices which marked its development. Consequently the tools of Form, Source and Redaction Criticism are utilized where they can contribute to our purpose. Chapter 1, p. vi.

Investigating apparent commonalities between the apocalyptic traditions from iIan and second-temple Judaism

Van der Merwe, Jeanne 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MPhil (Ancient Studies))--Stellenbosch University, 2008. / This thesis seeks to investigate the possible influence of Iranian apocalyptic on the Judaean apocalyptic literature, which was widely disseminated in the Near East during the Hellenistic and Roman phases of the Second Temple Period (c. 539 BCE- 70 CE). The similarities between Zoroastrianism and Judaism have been the object of scholarly study for more than a century. Iranologists such as Zaehner, Widengren and Boyce were particularly partial to the notion that Zoroastrianism influenced Judaism. They felt such influences were an inevitable consequence of the Judaeans living under Achaemenian rule for almost two centuries, and in close proximity of Persian communities for some centuries after the demise of the Achaemenid Empire. They based their conclusions on literary parallels between some key biblical passages and Persian literature, linguistic evidence and the obviously dualistic nature of both religions. Recently, however, this point of view has come in for criticism from biblical scholars like Barr and Hanson, who have pointed out that many seemingly Iranian concepts could as easily have emanated from other Near Eastern influences or evolved from within the Judaean tradition. The similarities between the Iranian and Judaean world-view are particularly apparent when considering the apocalyptic traditions from Zoroastrianism and Judaism: Both traditions view the course of history as a pre-determined, linear process in which good and evil are in constant conflict on both a physical and metaphysical level, until a great eschatological battle, introduced by a “messiah” figure, will rid all creation of evil. A judgment of all humanity and resurrection are envisaged in both traditions, as well as an utopian eternal life free of evil. However, it is very difficult to prove that these two apocalyptic traditions are in any way related, as most of the apocalyptic works from Iran are dated considerably later than the Judaean apocalypses, which mostly originated during the Hellenistic period. The apocalyptic phenomena within the two traditions are also not always entirely similar, raising the possibility that they are indeed not the result of cultural interaction between the Iranians and Judaeans. Furthermore, one must also consider that many phenomena constituting apocalyptic occurred widely during the Second Temple Period in the Ancient Near East, on account of the general state of powerlessness and disillusionment brought about by the Macedonian conquest of the Achaemenid Empire and the resulting political unrest. This study investigates the relations between Judaeans and Iranians under Achaemenian rule, the political and religious background and apocalyptic traditions of both these peoples in an attempt to ascertain whether Iranian beliefs did indeed influence Judaean apocalypticism. These investigations will show that, given the cultural milieu of the Ancient Near East in the Second Temple period, contemporary Greek evidence of Zoroastrian beliefs and the interpretative bent of Judaean scribal and priestly classes, there is a strong likelihood that seemingly Iranian concepts in Judaean apocalypticism were indeed of Iranian origin.

Apocalypse is one of the major motifs of Jewish-Christian civilization. The Book of Daniel represents a vital status in understanding the Jewish apocalypse. After summarizing the scholarship on The Book of Daniel and Jewish Apocalypse, I adopt a "intertextual hypothesis" approach to connect the Book of Daniel, Jewish Apocalypse and modern films in order to expand the horizons of discussion and interpretation. / In the thesis I will introduce the current biblical scholarship on Bible and Film, and by using "intertextual hypothesis", I will interpret from different aspects the apocalyptic thoughts in the film entitled &lt;the Second Renaissance>. I will arrive at several points of new understanding of both the theme of "dualism" in Dan.7 and the much discussed area of the origin of Jewish Apocalypse. / This thesis aims at discussing the effect modern films has on our understanding of Daniel 7 and Jewish apocalypse. The main argument of this thesis is that the ancient Jewish apocalyptic thoughts (especially those in Dan. 7) can obtain a richer interpretation by the participation of modern film arts. / 叶洛夫. / Adviser: Archie C.

The journey of the Valentinian hero - Outlining the imaginative world of early Christian apocalyptic narratives : A comparative study of the Apocalypse of Paul (NHC V, 2)and the First Apocalypse of James (NHC V, 3 &amp; TC 2)

Bergström, Eirini January 2019 (has links)
Background: This thesis aims to show that the narratives of the Nag Hammadi Apocalypse of Pauland First Apocalypse of James are written for a Valentinian audience. The purpose is to broaden the field of research on Valentinianism by showing how the authors and their implied readers composed and perceived the texts in question. Method: Comparing the mythological language of the two narratives and their description of a hero’s journey in a transcendent reality it is possible to disentangle the Valentinian material from the imaginative world of the reader, a world consisted of ancient Egyptian and Greek mythology as well as Jewish apocalypticism and early Christian legends and traditions. The texts are also compared with new research in the field, other related Valentinian scriptures, the New Testament, and Christian Apocrypha. Results: The texts are pseudepigraphic and written within a Jewish apocalyptic genre sometime during the late second or early third century. The symbolism and the diverse metaphors of the narratives indicate that the texts incorporate a specific soteriological message through embedded Valentinian mythology. The implied reader is to understand that the material world is an illusion and that the purpose of the initiate is to awaken the mind and acquire knowledge about the truth. By doing so the redemption of the believer’s spirit from its human body and soul leads to the spirits reunion with God. Conclusion: The analysis of the texts points toward the fact that the narratives could very well have been used for catechetical or other educational purposes within a Valentinian community. The language and form of the two narratives fit to serve this purpose. In many ways, the reader has to be initiated within a Valentinian context in order to grasp the intended message. / <p>Godkännande datum 2019-06-10</p>
