About the Book

Favorinos d'Arles fut un des plus fameux intellectuels grecs du IIeme siecle apres J.-C. et l'un des representants les mieux cotes de la Seconde Sophistique. La fortune litteraire en a decide autrement car rares sont les textes qui nous sont parvenus. Bien que d'origine celte, son talent et sa passion, pour le grec en firent l'un des plus grands orateurs de son temps, et, pour nous, l'incarnation de l'homme de lettres ideal de cette periode. Sa renommee, immense, s'etendait a la fois a Rome et a Athenes, et lui valut de multiples statuts, et un nombre encore plus grand d'ennemis. Il eut Plutarque pour maitre et fit d'Aulu-Gelle et d'Herode Atticus ses emules. Homme de contrastes plus que de convictions, il etait aussi raffine que decadent, adepte de l'erudition autant que du franc-parler. Ce dernier attira sur lui la colere de l'empereur Hadrien, qui le condamna a un exil dont il ne revint qu'avec l'accession au pouvoir d'Antonin. Notre edition, dont est ici presente le premier tome, rassemblera en trois volumes l'ensemble de textes relatifs a Favorinos d'Arles. Le volume comporte les temoignages, tant grecs que latins, sur Favorinos, ainsi que deux de ses discours, Aux Corinthiens, eloge paradoxal de la cite et Sur La Fortune, reflexion sur la divinite la plus celebree depuis la periode hellenistique et allusion ironique aux vicissitudes de son propre sort. La remarquable introduction generale est une somme qui n'a rien a envier a l'ideal d'erudition et de pluralite des savoirs de la Seconde Sophistique: tous les renseignements sur l'auteur et sur la periode sont non seulement donnes, mais judicieusement analyses. Le lecteur soucieux d'approfondir trouvera un panorama de la Seconde Sophistique, une etude precise de la langue et du style de Favorinos, ainsi qu'un historique complet de la tradition manuscrite. Des notes accompagnent la lecture et sont developpees, en fin de volume, par des notes complementaires. L'ouvrage est en outre enrichi d'une bibliographie recente et d'un Index Nominum et Ethnicorum
