Actes du colloque organisé par le Collège de France, Paris, les 19 et 20 mai 2014. Édités par Thomas Römer, Bertrand Dufour, Fabian Pfitzmann et Christoph Uehlinger. 20 contributions address intermediate beings as imagined in ancient Near Eastern societies and reflected in their textual and visual records. - It has long been an important issue for many religions, both ancient and modern, to imagine and question the differences between humans and deities as well as their means to communicate between each other. Ancient Near Eastern texts and iconography conceive this relationship in more than binary terms (i.e., human vs. divine): they presume the existence of various intermediate and often liminal entities, whom scholars have usually classified in terms of ?angels?, ?demons?, ?heroes? etc. According to ancient belief, such beings (some anonymous, others named such as Pazuzu, Azazel, Gabriel, Metatron, or Satan.) could take over roles that were considered as unfitting for the gods themselves; they could act as messengers and intermediaries, or in contrast even rival the gods. The dead (or at least the prominent among the deceased, such as kings or prophets) could be considered as intermediates in their own right, since they were thought to have special knowledge of a sphere that the living could only imagine imperfectly. To keep such entities at a distance or to satisfy them and gain their sympathy could at times prove no less challenging than to serve the gods. On the other hand, imagining those entities helped ancient societies and individuals, and particularly the literary elites among them, to manage and structure the contingencies of the world they lived in. The present volume offers the proceedings of an international symposium, organized by the chair of «Milieux Bibliques» and held at the Collège de France on 19-20 May 2014, dealing with intermediate beings as imagined in ancient Near Eastern societies and reflected in their textual and visual records. The aim was to get a better sense of how such entities were conceived, what roles they were attributed and what functions they fulfilled in culture and society, religion and literature, ritual and belief. The contributions scrutinize cuneiform and other ancient Near Eastern texts, as well as biblical literature, in order to understand ancient Mesopotamian, Levantine and Israelite conceptions of human-divine hybrids and intermediaries; other papers address ancient Egyptian, Jewish, Manichaean, Christian, Zoroastrian, and Islamic sources and beliefs. In all their variety, and in the variety of the numinous figures (collectives or individuals, anonymous or named) that are analyzed, these studies provide vivid insights into how the ancients experienced and modeled the reality they lived in when mobilizing human-divine intermediates for their own concerns. - Table des Matières: Michaël Guichard: Génies protecteurs dans l?art et les textes.

Format in-8°. ------ 654 pages. illustrations en noir et en couleurs, portrait.******************** EXTRAIT: "" Paradoxalement et pendant longtemps, les Phéniciens, réputés pour leur alphabet, apparaissaient presque comme un peuple sans histoire et sans culture écrite. Aucune oeuvre littéraire phénicienne n'avait été transmise jusqu'à nous dans sa langue originale et seuls quelques fragments de leur tradition mythologique et historique étaient inclus dans la tradition littéraire grecque, essentiellement dans les oeuvres de Flavius Josèphe et d'Eusèbe de Césarée. Dans ces conditions, étudier la civilisation phénicienne apparaissait souvent : «working with no data». Le jugement sur les Phéniciens s'appuyait essentiellement sur celui de leurs voisins et parfois ennemis : les Hébreux et les Grecs. Comme le soulignait fortement MAURICE SZNYCER, les études sur les Phéniciens se brisaient souvent sur deux écueils : le «bibliocentrisme» et l'«hellénocentrisme» et faisaient parfois une large place à l'imagination et au roman. Depuis une quarantaine d'années, en partie grâce à l'opiniâtreté et à la diplomatie du regretté SABATINO MOSCATI, les recherches sur la civilisation phénico-punique se sont organisées autour de la Méditerranée avec des congrès internationaux tous les quatre ou cinq ans. Les fouilles archéologiques de sites phéniciens et puniques se sont multipliées, jusque sur les bords portugais et marocains de l'Atlantique. De nombreuses expositions ont révélé l'originalité de cette civilisation qui a joué un rôle primordial dans le commerce et la diffusion de l'écriture alphabétique et de diverses techniques dans tout le bassin méditerranéen et même au-delà. Bien que la tradition littéraire phénico-punique sur papyrus et sur cuir semble irrémédiablement perdue, les découvertes épigraphiques et archéologiques ont éclairé de nombreux pans de cette civilisation. Une revue, la Rivista di Studi Fenici, et plusieurs séries se sont spécialisées dans ce domaine tandis que de nombreux articles et monographies ont été publiées dans des revues et collections «orientalistes». C'est dans ce contexte international que s'est située l'activité scientifique de JOSETTE ELAYI. Après une formation classique d'helléniste, son expérience d'enseignement universitaire à Beyrouth et à Baghdad l'a orienté naturellement vers l'étude du Proche-Orient ancien. De façon plus précise, après l'apprentissage des langues sémitiques anciennes, son premier article et sa thèse de Doctorat d'État ès-Lettres : «Pénétration grecque en Phénicie» marquent déjà l'orientation fondamentale de ses recherches ultérieures synthétisées tout récemment dans son Histoire de la Phénicie (Pour l'histoire, Paris, Perrin, 2013). Pendant quelque 35 ans, les Phéniciens d'Orient, en particulier au Liban, mais aussi d'Occident, en particulier d'Espagne, ont été au centre de son activité scientifique. Il n'est pas nécessaire de développer ici ses nombreuses publications scientifiques que l'on retrouvera facilement à la fin de ce livre, dans sa «Bibliographie». Sans écarter aucun des divers aspects de la civilisation phénicienne, ses recherches ont surtout porté sur deux domaines où ses travaux représentent des progrès particulièrement significatifs : la numismatique et l'époque perse. En collaboration avec son mari, ALAIN GÉRARD ELAYI, et en utilisant les dernières méthodes d'analyse scientifique, elle a totalement renouvelé notre connaissance des monnaies phéniciennes d'Arwad, de Byblos, de Sidon et de Tyr aux Ve et IVe s. av. n. è. Sa synthèse sur les Trésors de monnaies phéniciennes et ses corpus des monnaies de Sidon, Tyr et Byblos sont maintenant des références incontournables : elle y associe les aspects les plus techniques de la numismatique à une interprétation historique d'ensemble.

Sein Ziel ist es nicht, die historische Herkunft JHWHs zu klären, sondern zu verstehen, wie die Traditionen, die von einem JHWH aus dem Süden sprechen, mit anderen alttestamentlichen Traditionen verbunden wurden. Seine Studie geht von der Beobachtung aus, dass die poetischen Texte, die erklären, dass JHWH aus dem Negev stammt (Jg 5,45; Ps 68,89; Ha 3; Dt 33,2), wenig oder gar nichts über den Exodus sagen. Ebenso erwähnen die Theophanieschilderungen im Pentateuch keinen JHWH aus Edom oder Seir (Ex 24; 18; Num 10:2936). Haben sich diese Traditionen gegenseitig ignoriert? Ausgehend von dieser Fragestellung versucht der Autor, die Theophanien aus dem Süden als Spuren verschiedener Reden über die Ursprünge JHWHs zu verstehen, Reden die wahrscheinlich mit einem ursprünglichen Polyyahwismus verbunden waren. Why do the poetic texts stating that YHWH came from the Negev (Jgs 5:45; Ps 68:89; Hb 3; Dt 33:2) not speak about the exodus at all? Likewise, why do the theophanic texts of the Pentateuch not mention a YHWH from Edom or Seir (Ex 24; 18; Nm 10:2936)? Fabian Pfitzmann attempts to understand the southern theophanic texts as traces of multiple discourses on the origins of YHWH, probably linked to an original poly-Yahwism.
