Les Apophtegmes des Pères sont parvenus sous la forme de deux collections classiques de la fin du Ve s. qui regroupent les dits des grands ascètes surtout égyptiens des IVe-Ve s., ainsi que des anecdotes illustrant leur enseignement. C’est cette littérature fragmentaire, si influente, qui est étudiée ici pour déterminer ce qu’a été la prière de ces grands moines. Après une présentation des collections, une première partie est consacrée à la terminologie, puis à la typologie et aux modalités de la prière étudiées avec l’aide d’autres textes monastiques de même époque. La deuxième partie, sur le contexte historique, souligne l’importance pour l’évolution de la prière monastique qu’ont eue la polémique avec les messaliens, et celle avec les origénistes. Un dernier chapitre est consacré à un cas particulier important, celui d’Antoine le Grand, qui nous est connu par les Apophtegmes, mais aussi par ses lettres et la Vie que lui consacre Athanase. / The Apophtegmata Patrum reached us in the form of two classical collections of the late fifth century which regroup the sayings of the great ascetics of the fourth and the fifth century, especially Egyptian ones, as well as anecdotes illustrating their teaching. This influential, fragmentary literature is studied here in order to determine what the prayer of those great monks was. After the presentation of collections, Part I is devoted to terminology, then to typology and modalities of prayer which were studied with the help of other monastic texts of the same epoch. Part II examines the historical background and highlights the importance of the controversy with Messalians, and that with Origenists, for the evolution of the monastic prayer. The last chapter is dedicated to an important particular case, that of Anthony the Great, who is known to us by the Apophtegmata, as well as by his letters and his Life written by Athanasius.

We understand that the martyrdom of the content is present in this stereotype monastic hermit Copt, introduced by the authors of the sources, this will allow us greater strength in proving our hypothesis about the development of a patristic representation, which aimed to raise the monks as the authentic successors of the martyrs and establishes guidelines and patristic models defined for these religious and those who followed them. / Nesta pesquisa pretende-se demonstrar o processo de elabora??o de um estere?tipo de m?rtir para os monges eremitas coptas, atrav?s do qual acreditamos ser poss?vel analisar a representa??o hagiogr?fica elaborada para esses religiosos, a partir de vest?gios textuais encontrados nas fontes prim?rias Vita Antonii (357) e Vita Pauli (374-379), de autoria, respectivamente, de Atan?sio de Alexandria (296-373) e Jer?nimo de Estrid?o (347-420), acerca dos monges Ant?o do deserto (251-356) e Paulo de Tebas (228-330). Entendemos que se o conte?do do mart?rio estiver presente neste estere?tipo mon?stico erem?tico copta, introduzido pelos autores das fontes, isto nos permitir? maior solidez na comprova??o de nossa hip?tese acerca da elabora??o de uma representa??o patr?stica, que visava al?ar os monges como os aut?nticos sucessores dos m?rtires, al?m de estabelecer diretrizes e modelos patr?sticos definidos para esses religiosos e aqueles que os seguiam.
