Abstract

The apocryphal tradition of the Transitus Mariae seems to have been rather popular in medieval England. It is represented by three Xth century Old-English homilies. The present article is a translatio into French and a commentary of one of them. Its literay quality is very poor, but it has some interesting original features. It is based on two Latin versions of the legend, which its author combined, guided by the theological conception of the Assumption with ressurection. It attests to the popularity of this tradition in the tenth century England.
