| Summary: | This article traces the life of Jean de Menasce as an historian of religions, theologian and philosopher. Towards this end, the most significant contributions of this Dominican, specialist in the religions of pre-Islamic Iran, in these three areas of knowledge are reviewed and his place in the science of his time specified, and this by way of recourse to his epistolary exchanges with a few of his contemporaries, especially the Belgian thinker Franz Cumont, whose correspondence with Jean de Menasce, largely unpublished, is given particular attention. Cet article retrace la vie de Jean de Menasce comme historien des religions, théologien et philosophe. Pour ce faire, les contributions les plus significatives de ce dominicain, spécialiste des religions de l’Iran pré-islamique, dans ces trois domaines du savoir sont passées en revue et sa place dans la science de son temps précisée, en recourant à ses échanges épistolaires avec quelques-uns de ses contemporains, en particulier le savant belge Franz Cumont, dont la correspondance avec Jean de Menasce, en grande partie inédite, fait l’objet d’une attention particulière. |
