Abstract

De Nag Hammadi ont ete extraits trois ecrits apocryphes qui ont renouvele l'etude de l'initiation gnostique : l'Apocryphe de Saint Jean, la Protennia trimorphique et l'Evangile des Egyptiens. Ces trois textes ont en commun de se referer a l'enigmatique mystere des cinq sceaux. L'A. a pour ambition d'elucider ce mystere et d'en tirer les consequences necessaires pour ce qui concerne l'initiation chez les gnostiques. Ainsi decouvre-t-il que ce mystere est un mythe gnostique de base qui trouve ses origines dans l'Antioche syrienne
