Description
Nos connaissances sur l'education de la noblesse sassanide et les moeurs de cour proviennent essentiellement du texte pehlevi intitule Husraw i Kawadan ud Redag-e "Khosrow fils de Kawad et un page" qui fait ici l'objet d'une nouvelle edition commentee d'apres le manuscrit MK, accompagnee pour la premiere fois d'une traduction francaise. Concu comme un dialogue, ce recit retrace l'histoire d'un jeune page a la cour du roi sassanide Khosrow Ier (531-579 de notre ere) qui, grace a sa sagesse et son courage, parvient a regagner son rang hierarchique. Ce "manifeste" de l'education aristocratique a pris corps sous la forme de nombreuses listes lexicales qui se pretent volontiers a une analyse philologique detaillee. Our knowledge about the education of the Sasanian nobility and their courtly manners is mainly provided by the Pahlavi text entitled Husraw i Kawadan ud Redag-e "Khosrow, son of Kawad, and a page". In this volume, we present a new edition and commentary of the text, based on the manuscript MK, including for the first time a translation in French. This dialogical narrative tells the story of a young servant at the court of the Sasanian king Khosrow I (531-579 A.D.) , who succeeded in regaining his hierarchic rank because of both his wisdom and his courage. This "manifesto" of aristocratic education appears in the form of numerous lexical lists, a form suitable for a detailed philological analysis.
