This thesis consists in editing, side by side, two printed texts of Le Mystere de sainte Barbe en deux journees. The oldest (which can be found at "La Bibliotheque Nationale de Paris", call number BN Yf 1652) has been published by la Veuve Trepperel and Jehan Jehannot between the years 1511 and 1517. The other text, also to be found at "La B.N.P." (call number BN Yf 1651) is a revised edition of the former published between the years 1552 and 1585 on Simon Calvarin's press. The BN Yf 1652 contains 3 677 lignes, whilst the Calvarin's edition is of 3 734 lignes; both texts are at fourteenth characters. The mystery play is divided in two days. It consists almost exclusively of octosyllables.
