In this sense, the proposals presented by the AnnalesSchool, especially the History-Problem, are used as a theoretical reference for the development of the criticism. At first, it is observed the characteristics of Eusebius the writer and the politician,which the emperor Constantine was concerned. Finally, the specific character observed along the work to exemplify its apologetic and panegyrist style is the heroic image of the emperor Constantine that Eusebius developed. In order to verify this development, the parameters of Annales History-Problem are usedand also the concept of Invention of Traditions. Once identified that Constantine had the help of a christian writer, bishop and ecclesiastical-political that corresponded to his interests, and Eusebius that simultaneously built an benevolent image of the emperor, it is possible in this thesis to see how the Eusebian narrative and discourse accomplishes both political and religious motivations that can not be disregarded. This verification becomes even more important when we note how the Eusebian model of writing history served as a reference for so many others who had taken place laterin the same enterprise / Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo observar a história da historiografia da religião cristã a partir de uma releitura da obra História eclesiástica, escrita por Eusébio de Cesareia, no início do século IV de nossa era. Neste sentido, são utilizados como referenciais teóricos para desenvolvimento da crítica as propostas apresentadas pela Escola dos Annales, especialmente, a História-Problema. Em primeira instância, são observadas as características do Eusébio escritor e político que interessava ao imperador Constantino. Finalmente, o aspecto específico observado na obra para exemplificar seu estilo apologético e panegirista é a imagem heróica do imperador Constantino que Eusébio elaborou. Para verificar esta elaboração, são utilizados não somente parâmetros dos Annales como a História-Problema, mas também o conceito de Invenção de Tradições. Identificando que Constantino contou com o trabalho de um escritor cristão, bispo e articulador político-eclesiástico que correspondia aos seus interesses e que Eusébio, simultaneamente, construiu uma imagem benevolente deste imperador, é possível, na presente dissertação, perceber o quanto a narrativa e o discurso eusebianos atendem a motivações tanto políticas como religiosas que não podem ser desconsideradas. Esta constatação se torna tanto mais importante quando notamos como o modelo eusebiano de escrita da história serviu de referência para tantos outros que se colocaram posteriormente no mesmo empreendimento

The Ecclesiastical History is the primary historical source of the Christian Church in the pre-Constantinian era. The History narrates the nature and work of Christ, the highlights of the apostolic age and the advancement of the Christian Church in the Roman Empire up to the principate of Constantine. Investigating the Ecclesiastical History using a quantitative method reveals Eusebius' preoccupation with the office of the bishop. There is almost no subject that Eusebius addresses that does not reflect his portrayal of the bishop's influence and universal presence. This thesis demonstrates the high status and undisputed authority of the episcopate as presented by Eusebius of Caesarea. The research of this thesis contributes to an understanding of the bishop in Roman society before Imperial favour. / iv, 250 leaves ; 28 cm.

The work becomes more complex when the author begins the narrative of the events of his contemporary times, which make up the second part of his work Ecclesiastical History. Through this work, we intend to show that Eusebius used examples of Christians and pagans for the narrative of the events he witnessed and that this choice gave contradictions to the his presentation, which were remedied by the logic of his speech, which didactical proposal makes that the message of reinforcement ofChristian identity, through the logic of identity shaping by binary opposition, justifies inadequacies, contradictions and even omissions / Carente da ligação cultural observável nas demais religiões de seu tempo, Eusébio se empenha em um trabalho pioneiro para conferir aos cristãos um sentimento de pertença através da pesquisa sobre a história dos hebreus e dos judeus dissidentes que seguiram Jesus Cristo, os quais, segundo Eusébio, representam a continuidade legítima da religião dos patriarcas. O trabalho se torna mais complexo quando o autor chega à narrativa dos eventos de sua contemporaneidade, que compõem a segunda parte de sua obra História Eclesiástica. Através do presente trabalho, pretendemos mostrar que Eusébio utilizou exemplos de cristãos e pagãos para a narrativa dos eventos que presenciou e que essa escolha conferiu contradições à sua exposição, as quais foram sanadas pela lógica de seu discurso, cuja função didática faz com que a mensagem de fortalecimento da identidade cristã, pela lógica da formação de identidades por oposição binária, justifique impropriedades, contradições e até mesmo as omissões

Cette thèse a pour objet d’établir une édition critique et une traduction du Commentaire d’Eusèbe de Césarée de quatre psaumes parmi les psaumes d’Asaph : les psaumes 49, 72, 77 et 82. Elle s’intéresse également à l’apport de la tradition indirecte, et à son utilisation par l’éditeur du Commentaire. Le Commentaire sur les Psaumes d’Eusèbe de Césarée est transmis, pour presque un tiers de l’ouvrage, en tradition directe, par le manuscrit Coislin 44. Pour le premier et le dernier tiers, la tradition directe fait défaut, et le Commentaire doit être reconstitué à l’aide de la tradition indirecte : les chaînes exégétiques sur le Psautier. Nous étudions, dans ce travail, le texte transmis par la première chaîne palestinienne et le texte transmis par la chaîne de Nicétas, et le confrontons, lorsque c’est possible, au texte transmis par le Coislin 44. Il ressort de cette étude que la première chaîne palestinienne transmet de longs fragments littéraux, susceptibles d’être utilisés par l’éditeur pour pallier la perte du texte en tradition directe (elle ne transmet toutefois pas le texte dans son intégralité). Elle permet également d’améliorer le texte de la tradition directe. L’apport des chaînes filles de la première chaîne palestinienne est de qualité inégale. Le nombre de fragments transmis, leur longueur et leur intérêt pour l’éditeur varient considérablement d’un manuscrit à l’autre. Enfin, l’utilisation de la chaîne de Nicétas reste délicate. Son utilisation ponctuelle reste possible, et parfois utile, mais la chaîne de Nicétas, seule, ne permet pas la reconstitution du texte perdu du Commentaire. / The purpose of this dissertation is to establish a critical edition and a translation of Eusebius of Caesarea’s Commentary on four of the Psalms of Asaph: the psalms 49, 72, 77 and 82. This dissertation also studies the contribution of the indirect tradition, and its use by the editor of the Commentary. Eusebius of Caesarea’s Commentary on the Psalms is transmitted, for almost a third of the book, by the direct tradition: the manuscript Coislin 44. The direct tradition is lacking for the first and last thirds, and the Commentary has to be edited using the indirect tradition: the exegetical catenae on the Psalms. We study, in this dissertation, the text transmitted by the first Palestinian catena and the text transmitted by Niceta’s catena, and we confront it, when it’s possible, to the text transmitted by the Coislin 44. This study shows that the first Palestinian catena transmits extended literal fragments. The editor can use these fragments to compensate the lack of the text in the direct tradition (but this catena doesn’t transmit the full text). The first Palestinian catena also improves the text of the direct tradition. The contribution of the catenae derived from the first Palestinian catena is of variable quality. The number of fragments transmitted, their length and their relevance for the editor vary considerably from one manuscript to another. Finally, the use of Niceta’s catena is quite difficult. Its use remains possible, and sometimes useful, but the only use of the Niceta’s catena doesn’t enable to edit the missing text of the Commentary.

This thesis addresses Constantine's developments of the Roman province of Palaestina. It analyzes two important Christian bishops, Eusebius of Caesarea and Cyril of Jerusalem, and one nameless Christian traveler, the Bordeaux pilgrim, to illuminate how fourth-century Christians understood these developments. This study examines the surviving writings of these Christian authors: the Bordeaux Itinerary, Cyril's Catechetical Lectures, and Eusebius's Ecclesiastical History, Onomasticon, Preparation of the Gospel, Proof of the Gospel, and the Life of Constantine, and the archaeological remains of several Constantinian basilicas to interpret their views of the imperial attentions that were being poured into the land. Together these accounts provide views of fourth-century Palaestina and Jerusalem that when combined more fully illuminate how Christians understood Constantine's Holy Land policy. This study focuses on Constantine's developments of the city of Jerusalem, primarily the so-called Triad of Churches (The church of the Nativity, the Eleona, and the Holy Sepulchre) built in and around the city. It likewise considers the countryside of Palaestina outside of Jerusalem. While some Christians were resistant to the developments of Jerusalem, our sources reveal how many Christians supported, or at least desired to experience, the newly developing Christian Holy Land. This thesis argues that most of the discrepancies over the city of Jerusalem between our sources, especially Eusebius and Cyril, developed from long-standing political tensions between the cities of Caesarea and Jerusalem. The Bordeaux pilgrim, on the other hand, traveled across the Roman Empire to see and experience the developing sites throughout the land with no interest in local political debates. With this added perspective we can see how Christians, separated from the positions of church fathers, experienced the developing Holy Land.
