About This Item

Turnhout Brepols 2003. Paperback, 388 p., 145 x 210 mm. ISBN 9782503510682. Le Picatrix est l'ouvrage emblematique d'une epoque ou convergent dans l'Espagne d'Alphonse le Sage les cultures arabes, juives et chretiennes. Temoignage exceptionnel des ?« traductions a quatre mains ?» dans cette aire culturelle, l'ouvrage se pose explicitement comme une traduction d'un original arabe ' le Ghayat Al-Hakim ', mais ne saurait cependant se reduire a cette seule dimension : le traducteur - voire les traducteurs, tant le mystere demeure autour de la figure des auteurs - retranche ou ajoute a son modele. Par ailleurs, la magie constitue un des domaines privilegies des traducteurs de l'epoque. Elle presente ici un caractere a la fois scientifique, philosophique et religieux : generalites sur les connaissances prealables indispensables a qui veut agir sur le monde et les hommes, fabrication des talismans, exploitation de tous les regnes - mineral, animal et vegetal -, prieres aux planetes, donnees astrologiques, physiques et philosophiques. L'importance de la philosophie est posee d'emblee des le debut du traite, de meme que les prolegomenes de nature astronomique, et la pratique magique s'inscrit dans un cadre philosophico-religieux tres particulier : hermetisme et neoplatonisme cherchent a s'octroyer une certaine legitimite qui ne mette pas en danger l'orthodoxie religieuse. Enfin, les echos du Picatrix au Moyen Age et a la Renaissance temoignent de l'interet des intellectuels de l'epoque pour l'ouvrage. Si la presente edition offre quelque attrait pour un lecteur moderne, c'est qu'elle permet de verifier l'idee de Claude Levi-Strauss selon laquelle la magie n'est pas seulement un reflet de la science, mais se presente aussi comme un systeme complet, une methode de pensee, de croyance et de connaissances.
