Résumé
--
In the wake of the Council of Trente, François de Sales was the principal source of a spirituality addressed to laymen, although he was part of a wider movement which appeared at the dawn of the classic century. He transposed the mysteries of mystical and theological science into a language he defined himself, in his 'Treatise on the Love of God', as 'naive and unpretentious'. François de Sales's work appears more like an essay on spirituality from the 'devotio moderna' movement than a mystical text proper. But is that really the case ? Is the 'Treatise on the Love of God' of the same nature as the 'Introduction to the Devout Life'? To answer this question, we must define mysticism. However, Sales' mysticism is deeply rooted in theology as well as the scriptures. Although an experimental dimension is clearly present in the 'Treaty', the ascension of the soul toward God is accomplished through the Scriptures, in a manner that is still very close to the 'lectio divina' and the ecclesial assembly of the saints. In consequence, the 'Treatise on the Love of God' instated a new conception of mysticism, both scriptural and theological. Until today, the work has rarely been studied. Fortunately, Hélène Michon's book has filled what was almost a complete void.
