| Summary: | This study comes along with a series of works of the same author on the allegory in Bible exegesis in the Middle Ages. After distinguishing three meanings of the word ‘allegory’ (the trope of classic rhetoric, the specifically Christian allegory, the whole of spiritual interpretation), the study examines the evolution of the allegory, from patristic exegesis to the thirteenth century : commentaries produced in the monasteries play a great part, as well as hermeneutic research in universities. It is necessary to distinguish allegory from metaphor, symbol, and myth. In Christian exegesis the allegory is characterized by the ‘hermeneutical jump’ (saut herméneutique) and its insertion in the codes of a Christian community. The use of a precise metalanguage in the commentaries of the twelfth-fourteenth centuries enables to identify allegorical exegesis. To test these theoretical considerations, the functioning of allegory is examined through seven commentaries of Genesis, chapter 39 : Rainaud of Saint-Éloi, osb (beg. twelfth c.), Rupert de Deutz, osb (c. 1075-1129), Étienne Langton (c. 1150-1228), Hugues de Saint-Cher, op († 1263), Pierre de Jean Olieu, ofm (1248-1298), Nicolas de Gorran, op († 1295), Dominique Grima, op († 1347). |
