Abstract

Le sermon 380 fut prêché par Augustin un 24 juin, pour une fête de Jean-Baptiste. Les Mauristes le rangèrent parmi les sermons douteux, en raison de sa transmission, affectée par un accident codicologique qu’ils n’étaient pas sûrs d’avoir rectifié exactement. Leur choix explique pourquoi ce texte a souvent été négligé ou tenu pour inauthentique. La découverte d’une copie sans accident (Mainz, Stadtbibliothek I 9, e s.) permet de défendre l’authenticité du sermon et d’en proposer une édition critique. Une critique explicite de la christologie arienne incite à dater le texte des quinze dernières années de l’activité d’Augustin.

Abstract

The 380 was preached by Augustine for the feast of John the Baptist on the twenty-fourth of June. It was considered dubious by the Maurists, whose assessment was influenced by a codicological accident that they were not sure to have properly rectified. Their appraisal explains why this sermon has often been neglected or considered spurious. With the discovery of a new manuscript without the accident (Mainz, Stadtbibliothek I 9, 15th c.), a critical edition is now possible and a defence of its authenticity. The blunt criticism of Arian Christology implies a late dating of the sermon, during the last fifteen years of Augustine’s life.
