| Summary: | Asked by the AELAC to express my opinion as a historian about apocrypha, I shall start from my experience of these texts as teacher of History of religions and of Ancient Christianity at the University of Rennes 2. These apocryphal texts contain very few realia and their textual situation is very difficult; nevertheless, for historians, they represent an invaluable source, like other documents, of individual and collective mentalities of the first Christians: objects of history and objects of a history inserted within the Roman empire’s religiosity. To make progress in studying these documents, it is necessary for historians and specialists of litterature to work more closely together. |
