Aujourd'hui méconnu, Nicolas Denisot (Le Mans, 1515 – Paris, 1559), figure protéiforme de poète, peintre, précepteur et, bien probablement, agent double, connut au début des années 1550 une popularité extraordinaire qui lui permit d'occuper, quoique pour une brève période, une place de premier plan dans les milieux littéraires parisiens. Cette thèse entend reconstruire son parcours, sa personnalité et le réseau de ses amitiés, et définir l'originalité de sa contribution au renouvellement de l'expression poétique à la Renaissance. Un premier chapitre de caractère biographique, qui suit l'ordre chronologique des déplacements de l'auteur (Le Mans, Paris, l'Angleterre, Calais...) et des témoignages de ses rapports avec les hommes de lettres de son époque, est suivi de trois chapitres thématiques consacrés à chacun des domaines qui forment l'essentiel de sa production poétique : les poèmes sur la Nativité (noëls et cantiques), la poésie néo-latine du Ms. Royal 12 A VII de la British Library et les tombeaux collectifs et plurilingues. Les ouvrages sont étudiés dans leurs éléments de continuité ou de nouveauté par rapport aux genres littéraires auxquels ils appartiennent et avec une attention particulière pour les contextes culturels qui les ont fait naître. Il est ensuite question du problème des attributions anciennes et modernes, dont la plus controversée : celle de L'Amant resuscité de la mort d'amour, œuvre d'un certain Théodose Valentinian, souvent identifié à Nicolas Denisot. / Even though he has generally been regarded as a minor figure, Nicolas Denisot (Le Mans, 1515 – Paris, 1559), poet, painter, preceptor and, presumably, secret agent, met an outstanding popularity at the beginning of the 1550s and played, in those years, a crucial role in Parisian literary circles. This thesis aims at retracing the evolution of his career and the network of his acquaintances, as well as at establishing the value of his contribution to the renewal of poetry in the French Renaissance. Chapter one focuses on Denisot's biography in a chronological order and takes into account both his journeys, from Le Mans to Paris and then to England and Calais, and his relationships with the literati of his time. The following chapters are devoted to the three major fields which make up the main part of his literary production : his poems on the Nativity (noëls and cantiques) ; Neo-latin poetry, as it is represented by Royal 12 A VII Manuscript (British Library) ; and collective and multilingual tombeaux. All works are explored considering the features of their specific literary genre, with a special focus on the cultural context in which they were created. The final chapter deals with the problem of ancient and modern attributions, among which is the most controversial one : that of the novel L'Amant resuscité de la mort d'amour, whose unknown author, Théodose Valentinian, has often been identified with Nicolas Denisot.

Though discovered in 1945, the First Apocalypse of James from Nag Hammadi Codex V, 3 has received very little attention from the scholarly community. This is primarily due to the fragmentary condition of the text. Previous scholarly engagements with the text have led to the conclusion that the purpose of such a revelatory dialogue was to impart instructions for the ascent of the soul to one about to be martyred. The recent discovery of a second copy of the text simply titled “James” as part of the Tchacos Codex has led to not only a greater amount of scholarly interest, but also to different possible interpretations. From NHC V, 3 it was possible to ascertain a pre- and post- martyrdom revelation of Jesus to James, however, the text from Al Minya clearly shows a third revelatory section wherein the martyrdom of James is used as a means of revelation to Addai, the legendary founder of Eastern Syrian Christianity. Chapters one and two answer the question of why James was chosen as the protagonist of the narrative. In chapter one I look in detail at the literary construction of the martyrdom of James and problematize the development of the traditions. Chapter two then turns to a discussion of the figure of James as an authority in the developing Christian community. Chapters three and four are concerned with the literary classification of the text. Chapter three situates the First Apocalypse of James within the overarching genre of apocalyptic literature, and the specific sub-genre of gnostic apocalypses. Chapter four discusses how the text might be understood as a commission narrative while interrogating the lineage of descent beginning with the transmission of the revelation from James to Addai. Following this in chapter five I explore the cosmology of the text with particular attention to the ascent of the soul.

L’armée de Gaule sous le Bas-Empire fut une des trois armées principales de l’Empire romain. Son évolution de la fin du IIIe siècle jusqu’au début du Ve fut marquée par une réorganisation graduelle dans le commandement, ainsi que dans l’organisation des troupes et des fortifications. Ces réformes ont fait l’objet d’études qui ont dressé un schéma de déploiement des troupes resté longtemps populaire. À ce schéma s’est ensuite ajoutée l’idée de la stratégie à grande échelle qui y aurait été associée. Ce mémoire tâche de dresser une synthèse des derniers travaux sur l’armée romaine tardive en Gaule. L’approche choisie repose sur une réévaluation des sources sans l’influence d’un schéma défensif préconçu, ainsi que sur une critique de certaines idées reçues concernant l’armée romaine du IVe siècle. / The army stationed in Gaul during the Later Empire was one of the three main armies available to the Roman Empire. Its evolution from the late IIIrd century to the early Vth century was marked by reforms applied gradually to the high command, and to the organization of troops and fortifications. These measures have interested scholars who established a model of troop deployment which enjoyed great popularity over a long period of time. The idea of strategy applied on a great scale was later included in this concept. This thesis proposes a synthesis of the latest research on the late Roman army in Gaul. The selected approach of analysis is based on a reevaluation of the sources without the bias of a preconceived defensive model. Some obsolete ideas regarding the late Roman army will also be subject to criticism.
