This volume brings together a set of articles on the history of eastern Christianity and the Arabic traditions which, from the 8th century, gradually superseded those in Greek, Syriac and Coptic. In the first group of studies, Professor Troupeau looks at a number of particular aspects of Arabic Christianity - the literary history of the 10th-12th centuries , its social history , and the development of its own specific vocabulary. The following articles include editions and translations of scriptural texts and philosophical and theological treatises by Christian writers, Melkite, Jacobite, and Nestorian, and present works by some contemporary Muslim authors who were interested in Christianity. Dans ce volume, l'auteur a r�uni des articles destin�s � faire mieux conna�tre le christianisme oriental selon la tradition arabe qui, � partir du VIIIe si�cle, se substitua progressivement aux traditions grecque, syriaque et copte. Un premier groupe d'articles concerne diff�rents aspects du christianisme arabe: histoire litt�raire du Xe au XII si�cle, sociologie religieuse , lexicographie .
