Les citations vétérotestamentaires dans le "Dialogue avec le juif Tryphon" de Justin : entre emprunt et création
Résumé
Drawing a parallel with a paper of prof. Olivier Munnich on the Old Testament quotations by Justin, our analysis of these in the Dialogue, biblical book after biblical book, tends to prove that Justin has not constituted by himself any thematic collections of quotations for novices’ instruction, but has really used previous sources, some collections of testimonia. Nevertheless, we have to emphasize the particular contribution of Justin in his own exegesis, deeper than the previous. On the other hand, it seems that the Apologist has enriched by his own research the previous collections, and even that he has made his own selection in the case of some biblical books, such as the Psalms, Isaiah or Genesis.
