Abstract

L'A. rappelle l'ouvrage marquant de G. Scholem: Jewish Gnosticism, Merkavah Mysticism and Talmudic Tradition (1960). Malgre toutes les critiques qui ont ete avancees, il estime que des paralleles significatifs existent entre les deux courants. Il se propose ici d'evaluer les modeles qui puissent expliquer les similarites entre gnosticisme et mystique du Char, tout en soulignant la complexite du probleme. Quatre modeles. Modele A: influence directe. Modele B: influence indirecte. Modele C: ascendance commune. Modele D: developpement parallele. L'A. est en faveur d'une combinaison des modeles B, C et D. Annexe: tableau synoptique des modeles.
