« Hermès Trismégiste, Moïse et Apollonius de Tyane dans un oracle d’Apollon »

Abstract

This article tackles an Apollinian oracle cited in the Tübingen Theosophy. These verses, which are ascribed to Apollo by this Christian compilation of pagan prophecies, gather Hermes Trismegistus, Moses and Apollonius of Tyana; all of them are considered as being sacred characters who enjoyed the privilege of coming near to the deity. This analysis deals with the different problems of interpretation posed by these six hexameters and questions the authenticity of the passage, the reasons why it was produced and its appropriation by the Christians.
