| Summary: | Two mosaics in western Palestine, both dating from the end of the 3rd cent. ce (or very early 4th), were discovered relatively recently in Israel. One is clearly Christian, and the other indeterminate, but their proximity in place and time merit a comparative analysis. This can illustrate the nature and diffusion of religious beliefs and symbols at a formative moment in Palestinian history. Deux mosaïques de Palestine occidentale, découvertes récemment en Israël et datées vers la fin du iiie siècle de n. è. (ou juste au début du ive), méritent une analyse comparative : l’une est incontestablement chrétienne mais l’autre reste indéterminée, peut-être juive ou chrétienne ou païenne. L’analyse propose des explications liées à la diffusion des cultes dans la société palestinienne à un moment de transition. تستحق لوحتان من الفسيفساء من غرب فلسطين، اكتشفتا في إسرائيل وأرختا من حوالي نهاية القرن الثالث الميلادي (أو من بداية الرابع)، تستحقان تحليلاً مقارناً: إحداهما مسيحية بلا ريب، لكن تبقى الأخرى غير محددة الهوية، يهودية، مسيحية أو وثنية. يقترح التحليل تفسيرات تتعلق بانتشار العبادات في المجتمع الفلسطيني في لحظة انتقالية. |
