Le livre éthiopien des miracles de marie
Gérard Colin - Collection Patrimoines - christianisme
Résumé
--
12th century Arras: the 'mal des ardents' descends on the town, but after the miraculous intercession of the Virgin Mary, the epidemic retreats. After that event, the Mother of God was beseeched everywhere, successfully, in France and on the roads to Santiago de Compostela and to Rome. The account of these wonders, which was soon set down in French - the 'lingua franca' of the Crusaders - was carried by them to the Holy Land. Translated into Arabic, enriched with Syro-Palestinian then Egyptian stories, the book found its ultimate home in Ethiopia. There, it was again translated and augmented by some local pieces before taking its place in their liturgy. 'Le Livre éthiopien des miracles de Marie' is the richest collection of its kind in the Christian Orient. Its existence is proof of the close links between Eastern and Western Christianity as early as the Crusades. It is also a testimony of the literary energy that was capable of blending into one harmonious work Mary's intervention at the Mont Saint Michel, apparitions in Egypt, and the Negus's devotion to Mary. There is an introduction about Mary in Ethiopia, followed by the first translation into French of the essential part - almost three quarters - of this major work. Readers will savour the element that provides its charismatic unity: the omnipresence of Mary's intercession.
