| Summary: | The schema of the hebdomad often occurs in Augustine’s works. A biblical inspiration is commonly read in his latest works, but in his fi rst ones this schema would be influenced, according to some critics, by Varro, and, according to other ones, by neo-platonism. So, after shortly studying how this schema is dealt by some contemporaries of Augustine, we analyse how this latter can be understood as a spiritual structure of the De ordine and the De quantitate animae. Finally, we conclude that a porphyrian influence must be probable. Le schème de l’hebdomade est un schème récurrent dans l’œuvre d’Augustin. Si, dans les oeuvres de la maturité, on s’accorde sur une origine biblique de ce dernier, le cas est différent concernant les premiers ouvrages, où s’opposent ceux qui soutiennent une origine varronienne et ceux qui soutiennent une origine néo-platonicienne. Après un bref aperçu sur le traitement de ce schème par les contemporains d’Augustin, l’article montre comment ce schème doit être compris en termes de structure spirituelle dans le De ordine et le De quantitate animae et conclut à une probable influence porphyrienne. |
