Lors de la consécration du Myron (saint-chrême) effectuée au monastère de Saint-Macaire (Scété), en l'an 1374 A.D. par le patriarche copte Gabriel IV (1370-1378), l'évêque Athanase de Qous fut chargé d'établir un rapport décrivant la manière dont cette consécration s'était passée. Il le fit avec beaucoup de soin, en transcrivant notamment bon nombre d'hymnes liturgiques variées qui avaient été chantées pendant les offices ; il prit aussi soin de noter l'itinéraire suivi pour aller du Caire à Scété, les personnages présents, et détailla nombre de particularités. C'est l'autographe de ce rapport qui est publié ici, pour la première fois, muni d'une introduction, d'une traduction française et de notes, ainsi que des index usuels, en vue d'aider le lecteur à tirer le maximum de profi de cette pièce unique, qui illustre un moment essentiel de la vil liturgique copte, mais aussi une tranche de la vie sociale des chrétiens coptes au XIVe siècle, et de ses difficultés.
During the consecration of the Myron (Holy Chrism), celebrated bby the Coptic Patriarch Gabriel IV (1370-1378) at the Monaster of Saint Macarius (in the Desert of Scetis) in 1374 A.D., Bishop Athanasius of Qous was given the task of composing a written description of the way in which that consecration was carried out.
He did this with great care, transcribing many of the varied liturgical hymns that had been sung during the services. He also provides a careful description of the itinerary taken from Cairo to Scetis, the personalities present, and many other details of the event. Athanasius’ text is published here for the first time, together with an introduction, a French translation and notes, as well as indices designed to help the reader to take full advantage of this unique document, which illustrates an essential moment in Coptic liturgical life. It presents a kind of “slice of the social life” of 14th century Coptic Christians, and of the difficulties with which they had to deal.
