Description: "Quelle fut la destinée d'Adam et Ève après leur expulsion du paradis? Le livre de la Genèse n'en dit quasiment rien, mais la 'Vie d'Adam et Ève' raconte comment ils ont progressivement découvert les réalités constitutives de la condition humaine: faim et recherche de la nourriture, douleurs de l'enfantement, hostilité du monde animal, maladie physique et mort. C'est la valeur anthropologique de ce récit apocryphe qui a fasciné Jean-Pierre Pettorelli et l'a conduit, au terme de sa carrière professionelle, à entreprendre et à mener à bien une étude exhaustive des manuscrits de la version latine en vue d'une édition critique. Le présent ouvrage, fruit de cette étude, apporte de nombreuses nouveautés. Il offre en regard le texte et la traduction des deux grandes recensions latines: la recension traditionnelle ou "vulgate" (latin-V), dans une édition qui remplacera désormais celles de Meyer (1878) et de Mozley (1929); la recension découverte par l'auteur dans le manuscrit de Paris lat."--Publisher description.
