| Summary: | This paper presents evidence of a direct citation of the pseudepigraphic letter of 3 Corinthians in the Martyrdom of Šarbēl, a fictional legend probably from fifth-century Edessa. I argue that 3 Corinthians was considered an authentic, authoritative letter by the group that produced this text, extending the regard for 3 Corinthians as part of the Syrian "canon" of scripture into the fifth century. Le présent article se propose de mettre en lumière une citation directe de la lettre pseudépigraphique de 3 Corinthiens dans le martyre de Šarbēl, une légende probablement du ve siècle et provenant d’Édesse. Je tente de démontrer que 3 Corinthiens a été tenue pour une lettre authentique qui faisait autorité pour le groupe producteur de ce texte, ce qui conduit à étendre jusqu’au ve siècle la période durant laquelle 3 Corinthiens a été considérée comme faisant partie du « canon » syrien des Écritures. |
